Default WABC IBOC in Oho

I'm testing out WABC 770 reception in Ohio --
There's IBOC hash continuously from WBBM 780 Chicago,
and soon will be from WJR 760 Detroit.

Some country station is fading up and down over WABC, as it goes
down and up between 6AM and 7AM

But wait! At 6:30 WABC comes in in HD! The noise is gone.
I think that's the only time that IBOC has worked in my favor
at such a great distance (500 miles).

I wonder how long it will last. Probably not long. It's
been working for ten minutes now, though.

(Sangean HDT-1 HD tuner, sharing an antenna with a R8B ;
using two elements of a phased array to null away WBBM)

As I recall, WABC is completely gone by 7:30 AM.
