It still beats television.

Since they are both garbage, get another hobby, and stop wasting your
money on modern-day cheap plastic box receivers ! AM DXing beats SW
DXing, anytime !


If anything is a thing of the past, it is AM DX'ing (much to my
chagrin). With more and more stations testing IBOC at night, it won't be
long now before all you hear on the AM band at night will be IBOC hash.


How many stations are testing HD at night? I have only heard of a couple
of very specific tests, such as the WLW and WOR skywave test a few years
ago.


WNYC 820
WCBS 880
in NYC, both have done all night testing.

On rare occasions.

KGO 810 in S.F.

Same... occasional testing, mostly due to the installation of the new Nautel
50 kw transmitter 10 days ago. Testing after midnight is legal, including
for daytimers at full power... which causes vastly mor einterference than an
occasional HD test.

KEX 1190 in Portland, OR (I can't verify that one at the moment, will ask
for verification later.) That's certainly more than one or two stations,
and I suspect there are a lot more doing testing than just these.

As I said, there is no ongoing testing. There is occasional testing just as
there is for daytimers, etc., in the test hours after midnight.
