Barry, That is right. Especially "if" the FCC allows IBOC boosts in power in the future. They are at the 1% mark now (which still seems to be unbelieveable with the hash's signal), but if upped to 20% or 50%, or 100% in time, IBOC will trash IBOC coast to coast. The coverage of a 50 KWer wont get out of the city limis, if that, as there will be another 50 KW a few hundred miles away next door. The question comes up "What were they thinking?" I know of a few engineers that still feel that one main push for IBOC is to block out distant radio stations in a market. That it will do, legal jamming..
