Why single out WOR? Tom has at least been honest about protected 
contours. I'm assuming anyone who lights up IBOC feels exactly the 
same way and should reduce power accordingly. That includes WGN and 
WLW when their hash generators are engaged. After all, they'll 
clobber WOR and dramatically reduce its coverage. If you want to 
retain your power level, another option is to erect a Faraday screen 
around the victimized metro. If the Chinese could build a monumental 
wall without modern tools it should be a piece of cake for us lazy 
folks in the 21st century. With holes to allow planes to land it 
might not be perfect, but it's a start.
