Not so difficult, perhaps.

Linx has placed their mobile OAM system test results on their
web site. Must be a presentation they gave at NAB?

Anyway, they used an SFN (two transmitters), a 4-level robust
mode, 1/2 FEC, and achieved solid reception at 430 Km/h.

Not bad. This is the system they are developing as a candidate
for Chinese TV, where they used an E-VSB-like mode for
mobility. The system is quitre similar to n-VSB in meaningful
ways (like the symbol rate).

Not that I think DTT should be optimized for 430 Km/h ...
