Status of WPLJ New York HD2 and HD3

For the last week or so I have not received WPLJ HD2 or HD3. Are these stations gone for good or just temporarily off the air? I would think that since WCBS-FM now plays the greatest hits of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, that WPLJ should not stick with 70s and 80s on their two respective HD channels.

Hi Bruce,

I have a Radiosophy HD-100 and I receive PLJ HD2 and HD3 fine. I get a couple dropouts here and there. I'm in Brooklyn. Where are you located? What kind of radio and antenna are you using?
 
If you have a satellite radio nearby turn off the fm transmitter. I just had that problem today. This is great HD radio and satellite radio all in the same room! It doesn't get any better than this. And HD Radio on AM is like night and day. Its like going from wax cylinders to Digital audio. Perhaps a new allocation plan for the AM radio band is in order to ensure that all stations and listeners are able to benefit from the new system.

regardless of channel spacing, i am afraid h-dam will never be viable unless the effects of skywave signals can be resolved in coding, decoding or both. am band is still subject to impulse, noise man made and natural. most will not endure all of the trials like the ones stated in this post. the vast majority want to take it out of the box, plug it in and turn it on, anything beyond that will not be tolerated in this society with exception of a few techno-geeks.
 
So I guess my next question for all the engineers out there is: Where do we go from here to get to where we want to be? Got another twenty years? Cause thats how long at a minimum its going to take to just get
started answering that question! Well Stanley, heres another fine mess you've gotten us into! lol lol lol....
