Any graveyards running IBOC at night?

L

I am curious how IBOC does at night on the graveyards. The range must be very constricted. It would be nice to see a reception report.
 
When I had my HDRadio on WOAI was about 70db at night from 60 miles out.

When did WOAI become a graveyard station?
 
Thanks to HD-AM - the wonderful new hybrid technology enjoying flamboyant success on 1.5% of American AM stations at night - ANY station, even 50kw clears, have the potential to become "instant graveyarders" due to adjacent-channel and/or self-interference in some cases.

You've gotta hand it to the Alliance and iBiquity for developing a truly ingenious "standard."

HD-AM Radio combines - and compounds - all the disadvantages of digital and analog radio broadcasting, while offering the advantages of neither - and at GREATLY INCREASED COST!

Great work, guys!

I guess I didnt read the topic well that night lol it was late but I thought it was just talking about the nighttime reception for any station.
 
Graveyard 1KW WCWA 1230 Toledo runs IBOC 24/7 - at night you need to adjust the loop antenna, but it works OK in its COL.
Actually it works a little better than its 5K sister station with its directional array at night.
They are actually semi-acceptable signals, BUT, they still spew a ton of noise up to 2 adjacents away!
