New month, different IBOC rant. This one is just a simple question: Night AM allocations are calculated by a study. This study collects all the signals aimed at a location, runs it through a formula, and comes up with a signal strength called the Night Interference Free (NIF) contour. It's a

Craig, Very good points. WYSL 1040 will have to deal with IBOC on both sides (1030+1050). The FCC probably will be forced into adopting new rules regarding the side channel hash. But the courts will have the last say I would guess. We will soon know. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception
