You are right, complaining is not going to help. However, you have to understand how upset the DXer is. Show a bit of compassion and understanding.
Well, I can tell you right now that MOST, in fact, nearly ALL, of the frequencies on which I have been able to regularly hear Trans-Atlantic signals, up to and including this past summer, have been blown to hell by HD hash: 684; 1134; 1206; 1215. All are pretty much trashed... since the IBOC-running stations causing the QRM on these frequencies (WLW on 700, KMOX on 1120, and WOAI on 1200) are all on a northeast-southwest line from here... same as the European stations. Thus, impossible to null. Now, those four frequencies (plus occasional Spain on 585)--and my lack of multiple antennas and/or phasing capability--may not exactly make me a full-time "foreign DXer," certainly not like guys on either Coast, or Neil Kazaross in Illinois/Wisconsin with his BOGs etc. But it still puts a crimp in my style, if you know what I'm sayin'. And the Citadel ban on nighttime IBOC useage doesn't affect any of the above, unfortunately for me.
