Re: [IRCA] KPOJ 620 Portland is now IBOC

Night IBOC will be the end of all your Beverage fun logging cool stuff from 
the midwest and further east, but you'll still be able to wait for post 
sunrise and also phase some stuff out and log TP's and DU's...although some 
channels may be lost and you may suffer some IBOC from Hawaii, things won't 
be hopeless, although you may be bored unless cx are superb.

Night IBOC when it is widespread and on every station will create such havoc 
that it's noise will help obscure N.Am DX from Europe and maybe even the 
DXped sites Down Under and in S. Africa.

Guys in the NE with cardiod type setups will still be able to clear enough 
crap from many, but not all, of the TA channels to DX many of them.

Now if everything goes digital and analog goes away, things may be different 
for domestics, although I suspect it will take very deep nulling to be able 
to lock into something.

Another possibility (and maybe this isn't feasable) is some kind of very 
fancy digital signal processessing to take out the IBOC hash on analog but 
allow audio copy.
