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

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.

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.
