"Hope the external pressure is so great at the FCC that your coveted power increase doesn't happen." The pressure is building against a power increase. NPR certainly won't do an across-the-board -10db increase, as that would destroy their own analog signals which 99.999% are still listening to. The on-going Congressional Committee looking into expanding LPFMs has already called the FCC's Doyle on IBOC interference and the power increase - quite amusing listening to him squirm. Most stations don't have the funds, or headroom, for a significant power increase. So, NPR is against it, Congress is aware of it, and most stations won't be able to do it - sounds like it's pretty dead. My blog has made many thousands aware of IBOC's problems, and the farce that has gone on at the FCC. So goes for Bob Savage's site, stopiboc.com. I've gotten many visits from Congress, the Congressional Quarterly, the FCC, the DOJ, other Government Agencies, etc...
