Nighttime AM HD
 

Well, the band is full of HD hiss at night ; and not every HD station
is on HD yet!

In Central Ohio, I left my trusty Sangean HDT1 seeking a HD station, and
it didn't find any. Yet they're audible all over, on a regular radio ;
even very strong ones.

Verdict : you can't hear any HD radio in HD at night, but they're on all over
for the benefit of ordinary listeners, the hiss being better programming
perhaps. Or maybe it's to drive you to some other band that's more
profitable. The commercial profit is in jamming.

Were I at home now, I would give up on commercial radio, and spend the
paltry sum on XM or Sirius.. at least they program for more than the status
quo.

HD Radio is nothing but a farce!

I have a feeling that is going to happen in general, especially with
AM-HD causing massive problems.

I'm more inclined to go the internet "radio" route myself, especially
since I do most of my listening at home and not when I'm on the run. I
certainly agree with Ron's remarks above, though. What a train wreck!
I pulled out the old SW77 last night and basically heard a few
powerhouse locals against a background of solid hiss and buzz. The
hiss all by itself was enough to peg the S-meter on the 77.

RH,

Does your poor {none} Nightime "HD" Radio reception problems
and comments apply to AM/MW "HD" Radio 'only' ?

-Or- Are you experiencing this with FM "HD" Radio
reception at Night too ?

-If- What you describe is generally true for AM/MW Radio
then there may be No Benefit for AM/MW Radio Stations
to have their IBOC Operations extend beyond Daylight
Hours and then; at least the Nights would be IBOC Free.

Yes, the AM band. Nothing good on FM either, programwise, now that Imus
is gone ; one of the FM stations put Imus on a HD channel.

You're gonna pay for radio?!!! Sucka!

I'd rather take the money I'd save on pay-radio and instead spend it
on records, tapes, CDs and replacement diamonds for my hi-fi. :)

And then there are always the hundreds of Internet audio feeds going
on if I don't want to "spin my own".

It is about half the band here. Worst affected for me do far is KOH out
of Nevada to which I used to listen to several programs on in the
evenings. It only half the band because only some stations are
broadcasting IBOC at night. If they all were the whole band would be
trash.

If you think that Digital radio is a crock of shi+ just wait till
regular
Analog TV Broadcasting shuts down once and for all in 2008 or 2009
and all those folks who still use rabbit-ears find out their TV sets
are now utterly useless unless they pay $50 for a converter box.

Looks like we've come full circle! I can remember UHF converter boxes
on TV sets in the 50's and 60's - except they worked! I know many
people who've tried getting digital TV on an antenna and almost
all of them had nothing but problems.
