If you interfere with the digital signal, the viewer will not know anything as to there being interference. All they will see is that they cannot see the channel 2 TV station. On the flip side, the digital wide band noise generated by the TV station will probably render 6M totally useless. The digital transmitter has a Mask filter between the transmitter and the antenna. The skirts on this filter are almost vertical. This is a very effective filter. The in specification out of band noise can be very high.
