Hi Bob,
I would bet that the reason for the minimal interference is that not too
many stations have jumped on the nighttime digital band wagon. Give it a
few months or a year or so and then make your judgment. I wonder if you can
still do some DXing if you get a digital AM radio. I don't know just how
they work. Do they automatically switch from digital to analogue and back
depending upon signal strength--just as do FM stereo radios?

Subject: HD Radio is alive at night and DX is still available too!
Hi All,
This is the second night that the FCC has allowed A M broadcasters to
broadcast HD radio after sunset. There are not a lot of stations on the
digital band wagon yet, but I have heard about 6 stations with strong enough
signals to occasionally trigger the digital mode in my HD radio. The one
that comes in the best here in southwest Michigan is
W H A M 1180khz in Rochester NY.
As to D X ing, though the band has some additional hiss on it, D X ing has
not been impacted as much as I thought it would be. What do you think?
