What an intriguing thought! Now, if you wanted to achieve the same effect without breaking any rules, you could all switch formats to overmodulated Sinaloan tuba music for one night and create almost the same amount of adjacent-channel havoc that your pushy IBOC neighbors are inflicting on you! That might not have enough treble, though... perhaps an all-Yoko Ono format would be a more accurate match for the musical contours of IBOC hash.
Come to think of it, maybe we should ask Jim to start using recordings of IBOC hash in our DX tests, since it seems to plow through everything else on the channel! ;) OK, I'll stop now. I clearly need some sleep... 73, Tim P.S. Just to keep this DX related - no change in the nighttime IBOC picture from San Diego last night - only KOGO-600, KNX-1070, and KMIK-1580 were noted.
