AM HD Radio DXing

Anybody have some good AM night-time DX distances? Serious posts please, not stories on how IBOC is killing DXing, we've all heard that...

My best pull so far has been WTAM Cleveland on a Sangean HDT-1 in Milwaukee WI. I've been trying for several nights to get WSB Atlanta, but without luck. Can get WHAS Louisville to show HD but no actual lock.

Someday I'll get around to building my own hoola-hoop loop: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/nordicdx/an ... aloop.html

I haven't tried yet, but I really want to! Just have to find the time. K9EZ will probably chime in - I know he was DX'ing...

On my JVC, I was locking into WJR in Detroit, with WABC still audiable next to it to boot...

WTAM locked in a little but a local yokel who didn't shut down on 1110 was causing issues with it.

From south of Raleigh, NC I locked on WPHT 1210 and then 770 WABC.

I have had the HD light as far as WOAI 1200 San Antonio.

I am just up the road from WSB and have not been able to get them yet.

WBT 1110 Charlotte is running lower level HD as they were having issues staying in the mask. Though they did sound good when I was in Charlotte for NAB.

I guess I am in an area where I dont get a lot of the HD hash compared to others. I hear it once and a while on WBT from WTAM and KMOX. But WBT is real weak here (believe it or not) and the station would not be listen able anyways.

I want to put up a decent antenna to see what I can get.
