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

What are you using for an antenna?

Two ALA1530's phased to listen east.

WABC is still there at 8am, but has had intervals when it's under
the hash and other stations. IBOC reception ended after about about
20 minutes.

That's a pretty decent record - don't think I've ever had an out-of-town
IBOC station lock in for more than 90 seconds at a time.

I'll bet you would if you used two ALA1530's phased against each other!

KMOX 1120, about 300 miles, in HD for hours on end using a Terk passive AM

Average consumers won't bother - just as with cell phones and analog
radios, consumers want plug-and-play.

IBOC Crock,

The general members {Readers & Posters} of this Shortwave
