Right-o.

The two categories of interference that have the potential to actually 
bring about change are:

1. Interference TO a local station's groundwave signal within its 
protected contour and within its home sales market. (The KFBK-vs-KXPA 
example several NW DXers have noted in the last few days is a good 
example of this.)

2. Interference to a Canadian signal within its protected contour from 
an adjacent-channel US signal. (The best example so far is WTIC on 1080 
impinging on CBA 1070; alas, CBA is headed over to FM soon, so this 
problem will go away in practice, if not in theory.)

Any other category of interference may be annoying as heck to DXers and 
even to "real" listeners, and may even damage revenue for affected 
stations (think WSM and the Grand Ole Opry), but the affected stations 
will have a heck of a time winning any kind of legal action.
