Did I Miss an HD Somewhere

K

K6JHU

I just spent a week in ABQ. Set my car radio to HD scan. Got one and only one hit (104.1 HD-1 and HD-2). Is that all there is (to paraphrase Peggy Lee) to HD in Albuquerque or did I miss something?
 
89.1, 89.9, are in HD
94.1, 95.1, 100.3, 104.1, 104.7, and 107.9 have HD2's
1320, 1240, and 1450 are in HD

Its been 2 years since I've been in town but all the CC stations should be working.
 
AM's licensed for HD are 770, 1240, 1350, and 1450. 770 turned theirs on for only three hours, off since. 1240 is dark. 1350 turned theirs off as coverage only extended three miles in the daytime. 1450 is on and splattering from 1370 to 1530.

Not a market success story for AM HD. And rightfully so.
 
And of the six, when I tuned last, I only got two HD-2, up in the Northeast Heights. I need to upgrade the stereo in the truck. HD is not going to be a driver like it was in LA.
 
Last time I scanned HD 104.1 HD-2 was rock (which I assume is classic alternative). I did not hear anything that sounded like Jazz on any of the HD-2 channels. I would have noticed that :)
 
The 104.7 HD is off it has an issue with the combining equipment, since CC ABQ is without an engineer I can't say how soon it will be back on.
