A POST FOR BOTH THOSE WHO LIKE HD RADIO AND THOSE WHO DON'T.

[Don Juan]

Jeez Don, I meet people like that all the time too. People who have never heard of it, in fact I have never personally met anyone who has, and have never met anyone who owns one besides me.

Given where you live...it's no wonder.

I guess you don't know where I live Wan Don, I live 10 minutes from downtown Worcester, the 2nd largest city in New England.

I know where you live. What has Worcester slipped to? Market 123?

Thats why you can't experience HD Radio....yet you still complain about it.

The power increase will help though...

Actually, it's 114th. But it's 156th in revenue.

But #1 in our hearts...gone from the charts. Or something like that.

The poster just stated that they live very close to both FM and AM stations that broadcast in HD, and they can
not get a lock on the AM. Yet you quote him, and leave that part out and instead start telling him there are
no HD stations, so that's why they can't experience HD. They just said there ARE HD stations and they can't get a lock, I
hope I wasn't the only one to catch that little "accident". Maybe if they add a couple more HD stations that they can't
receive within ten miles of the stick, they will finally realize how great HD is? Now that's some smart thinkin' amigos!!

So the process continues, discredit the poster, tell them their personal experience is not true, because you know better.
Then change the topic to something else, so you get people talking about that topic, instead of what the poster was
addressing.

I'll give you credit though, you two have mastered the art of political manipulation, I just feel so bad for you, really I do.....
because you probably really believe that you are fooling people. Have you guys ever thought of getting out of radio and
considered a career in politics? I think you'd do well.

No, the person stated that they lived 10 minutes from downtown Worcester, which is not a major market. If the person is west of Worcester, they are even less likely to get the HD signals from Boston. In fact, the 64 dbu signal, generally the limit of HD (and of useful at home and work listening) of most Boston FMs does not even hit the eastern side of Worcester.

So, without further clarification, the poster possibly lives well outside the HD signals from Boston. And while the poster talks about Worcester being the second largest "city" in New England, the market is smaller than Boston, Hartford, Springfield, New Haven, Providence and is only sllightly larger than Portland, ME. Worcester is not even a top 100 market, and the focus of HD has been the top 100, where a large majority of the total US population lives.

Again, the first poster admitted living outside the useful coverage area of the Boston FMs, and the only issue is how far out he lives.
