So, you are "HD Radio Fan" over on rec.radio.shortwave - here are some articles for you, good luck with your shilling:
“HD Radio on the Offense”
“But after an investigation of HD Radio units, the stations playing HD, and the company that owns the technology; and some interviews with the wonks in DC, it looks like HD Radio is a high-level corporate scam, a huge carny shill.”
“Bridge Ratings: Sweat the cell phone and don’t count on HD”
“In other words, Bridge says interest in HD radio is decreasing even as your station works hard to increase awareness. What can I possibly add to this honest and bleak picture that I haven’t said before? My well-intended warnings about HD’s “premature death” seem to be rearing their ugly heads almost two years later.”

“But is ‘availability’ of HD radios the problem?”
“And one broadcaster reported to me that he asked an iBiquity rep how many HD radios had actually been sold as of the most recent accounting. And this was his answer: 150,000.”

“Is Pay-for-Play HD Content on Horizon?”
http://rwonline.com/pages/s.0049/t.4028.html
“HD Radio Effort Undermined by Weak Tuners in Expensive Radios”
“Making AM-HD work well as a long-term investment is seen as an expensive and risky challenge for most stations and their owners. There is the significant downside of potential new interference to some of their own AM analog listeners as well as listeners of adjacent-channel stations.”

Hi - no, I haven't shilled HD radio anywhere else; I'm just a dude in St. Louis, MO. I'll check out rec.radio.shortwave some time, though.
Plus, dude, I've said negative things about HD radio on this site; I just think it sounds like a really cool thing and I hope it succeeds...
