KAZ, You are right. My non-DXer friends would never listen to fading, static, IBOC noise on the radio. This IBOC hiss has people tuning out by the thousands I'll bet. I remember driving to Portland with Bob's sister a few years ago and I tuned in the oldies station on 97.1 (Used to be KKSN) in Portland. Well out here on the coast, the signal does fade because of the mountains. OK to listen to for me, but I had the station tuned in when I picked them up in my van and it was coming in fairly decent, but we started to move and multpath and the like, Marilyn asked to change stations for a while or turn the radio off. Once we got 30 miles up in the mountains, maybe 50 from Polrtland if that, Marilyn wanted KKSN tuned back in. She said they never listen to KKSN in Seaside because of the bad signal. That is FM, but AM is worse with the noise.
