Well, Bob, I think you're basically correct, although I did notice
something interesting last night, which I hope isn't a sign of things to
come.
I noticed, with my GE Super III (which is analog, of course), that one of
the strongest digital AM signals here in west-central lower Michigan is WJR
A M 760 from Detroit. I have noticed now that, because of the sidebands
associated with their digital signal, WSB in Atlanta (A M 750) is greatly
attenuated, with a lot of hiss.
It remains to be seen, of course, how all of this will play out, but things
as far as A M dxing aren't completely dead yet, for sure.
