Say goodbye to AM nighttime DXing - the beginning of the end for AM
radio:

But, just look at what the crack investigators at the FCC found out:

II. Background

A. In-Band On-Channel Technology
4. IBOC technology makes use of the existing AM and FM bands (In-
Band) by adding digital carriers to a radio station's analog signal,
allowing broadcasters to transmit digitally on their existing channel
assignments (On-Channel) while simultaneously maintaining their analog
service. iBiquity's IBOC DAB technology enables radio stations to
provide enhanced sound fidelity, improved reception, multiple audio
streams, and new data services. It permits the transmission of near-CD
quality audio signals on the FM band, and improved fidelity on the AM
band, to digital-ready radio receivers along with information services,
such as station, song and artist identification, stock and news
updates, and local traffic and weather bulletins. These digital signals
are free from the static, hiss, pops, and fades associated with the
current analog system. iBiquity's IBOC technology will also allow for
new radios to be ``backward and forward'' compatible, allowing them to
receive existing analog broadcasts from stations that have yet to
convert and digital broadcasts from stations that have converted.
Existing analog radios will continue to receive analog broadcast
signals.

What a coincidence! An independent government agency is saying EXACTLY the
same thing about IBOC as ibiquity!!

I guess great minds really do think alike.

Frackeltonian Thinking!
