Here's his rote response on radioinfo.com:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Midwesterners have, on average, 8 to 12 FMs with strong signals to
depend on. Example: Traverse City,MI, where in the 60's the
surrounding counties had no night local service and had to listen to
Detroit or Chicago. Today, places like Leland and Kalkaska have
something like 14 signals to choose from, all on FM

Another example... used to be Moberly, MO had one local grade AM
signal, a Class IV. Now, there are a dozen FMs in all the surrounding
conunties that each put a pretty local signal in Moberly, too. From
one stations they have gone to a dozen, at least, and they are FMs,
listenable all day and all night, not AM skywavers.

Truckers have almost all gone satellite becasue they then do not have
to change stations every 100 or so miles...disaster info can be
handled on either AM or FM, whichever is left on the air.

In any case, there are two real issues:

1. Night usage of radio is about 1/4 the daytime usage. FOr AM, it is
1/5th. AM only accounts for 20% of all listening, and only about 10%
of under-45 listening.

2. There is very little listening to AMs outside their strongest
contours. There is scant evidence that HD would interrupt any
significant amount of listening in fringe areas, as there is not much
listening to fringe signals at all, on AM or FM.

3. HD was just launched for the consumer last June. It is way too soon
to decide if it will succeed or not, but hte indications are good. $99
receivers, third party chipsets, etc. Nearly 700 HD2 channels offer
new free programming, and there will be 2000 HD staitons on i by year
end. The FCC approval of HD and night AM HD may accelerate this. A
year after CDs were announced, I paid $1400 for my first CD player. HD
is way ahead in price and content.

Numbers 2 and 3 are especially deep in **** - what is the point to all
this ? Does he really think a bunch of morons are going read radioinfo
and rec.radio.shortwave, believe him, then spread the word for HD
Radio ? Is he indirectly recruiting HD Radio shills ? We keep
slinging his **** back, but he keeps bouncing back. Any thoughts, as
to motive, mental disorders, etc ?
