When I lived in Waltham, MA,  WBZ wouldn't stay locked on my Accurian HD radio
either. This was at the edge of their measured 25 mV/m contour. I was unable
to pick up any other AM stations' IBOC at all, even though their analog
signals could be received perfectly.

Here in LA, I can't receive ANY HD stations on AM whatsoever, even though
their analog signals come in perfectly. I also can't receive about 1/4 of the
FM HD signals of Los Angeles licensed FM stations, even though I live within
the city limits, and I'm on the second floor using a dipole antenna aimed at
the stations. All the analog FM stations come in perfectly in stereo.

This technology is hopelessly flawed. How long can this charade continue?
