As I said I was practically in their back yard, right on the river. 
What's the problem with WOR? As the poster station for IBUZ I would 
think they'd be processing separately and be pristine and lightly 
processed (at least less than 125% every nanosecond like analog) in 
digital. I wonder if it's to keep the mode switching acceptable. All 
the good signals you list are ethnic formats, except 1600 which is 
brokered and can be whatever the checks that clear that day say it is.

WADO, 1280, seems to have a better nighttime pattern. Less wasted 
over water. I wonder if the wealthy Spanish population has any 
interest in IBUZ.
