Well, you're right, of course but if there is a positive side it is that there isn't much worth DX-ing anyway because they all do repeat programming or satellite programming at night anyway or they throw it on computer.

  And do you want to know what really bugs me more than anything?

  I am now living out here in Colorado, about 20 miles or so northwest of 
  Denver. ...  Just about all of the AM stations here are digital, which means 
  that, on about 20 or 30 khz on either side of them, you get this really 
  anoying hash, unless there is a strong station in between that cuts it out.

  Even at night, although some of them do switch to analog, a m dxing is, for 
  most practical purposes, a lost cause.

  I guess they call it progress, but, when it comes to the AM broadcast band, 
  I'm not so sure of that.

  That's all right, Tom.  We all have senior moments.  Personally, I =

  that.
