Almost as few as those who find anything of interest in your posts.


You can be assured that this poster isn't going into any sort of HD radio
purchase until the cost of the receivers gets way below what they are at
this point. 200 dollars for a radio that only receives broadcast band crap?
Some cases more than 200 dollars. But really, after a while how much do you
want to spend Frankly when I can go out and buy a AM/FM radio for little
shock to my wallet versus 200-400 USD for a HD set, why in the hell would I
want to do that. For that cost, you could pick up a decent shortwave
portable or even possibly a relatively inexpensive DRM radio for SW. Not
that I think that DRM is going to be a boon either but seriously what is
there really on most commercial radio except hours of Rush Limbaugh and
other assorted talk show hosts. Other than listening to WBBM or some
powerhouse station like that for the news, there is little available on
local radio. FM has basically been turned into a vast wasteland of morning
talk shows, commercials, and other nonsense. Play the same song half the day
from the latest artist and here you can listen to two different stations on
FM playing the same format and same exact song at the same time. So much for
broadcasting diversity.
