By devising a process whereby we may determining the possible
problems of VSWR and pattern b/w before equipment expenditure.

By a rational approach to pattern b/w regularization using
existing equipment modification where possible.

By technical conflict/interference mitigation avoiding
litigation.

Finally, by a liberal application of common sense.

IOW typical problem SOLVING measures. 

My opinion of IBOC is low for many of the same reasons
you are opposed, but also for the way in which the RM's
and our FCC have been manipulated, but what's the point
in crying over spilt milk? This was over except for the
shouting FIVE years ago.

Could it have been done much better? DRM shows us the
possibility. Will DRM be given the nod at this late date?
Given the present political climate and the money at
stake, I think not. That doesn't mean I like it, but that
is reality. The time for strong opposition and alternatives
was six years ago. The case has been closed for five. We
lost that battle. The problem we confront is saving what
we can for the next time. Or, we can do nothing and lose
everything at the end of the day.
