When AM HD first was authorized for nighttime service, the AM band was full
of digital noise around many of the Class A skywave signals. At my
location in Quincy, IL I could no longer hear anything I could listen to
long on the adjacents of many of them, although pre-HD I got solid,
listenable signals here from WSB and WABC (then buzzed out by WJR), and
similar situations.
Lately the band is a lot quieter. WJR has turned off their nighttime HD,
and WSB/WABC are fine here again. Likewise KDKA and WBZ. The big ones
remaining that affect this area yet are WLW and WGN.
Ibiquity must be a bit concerned, no doubt.
