It says a lot...and says nothing.
It's a signal study of a 1.28 kW booster at 0 mHAAT...V-pol only...near Beverly Hills. It says, among other things, that HD signals are spotty within its coverage area. Well, DUH!!! The terrain is hilly, the transmitting antennas are vertically polarized only, and one of them is pointed right at a number of tall steel buildings.
It's ONE case study in ONE particular location of a crippled signal. To draw any generalizations from it is ridiculous.
It says that RF-challenged areas will find that an IBOC booster is about as much help as an analog FM booster.
It will work if there is a good natural divide, but will suffer when (where) both signals are received.
LA is very, very tricky. This would work well say in SLC/Provo where one big mountain blocks all N/S signals.

Let me get this straight: You're asking PocketLint to actually interpret one of his links? Wow. I can't wait to see this.

Y'know, I don't always agree with you but that's pretty funny.
