    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.
