Greetings,

A friend sent me the Sony XDR-F1HD radio. I have never tried an HD Radio. An 
interesting unit. The sensitivity is pretty good. I noticed Toronto 740 on it 
tonight.  Hooking up the 1500' beverage to the unit, I find the only station 
that I can get in HD is KSL-1160. They seem to pop up at times in full HD and 
then will fade down popping in and out with the flashing HD icon. I may try to 
run the beverage through the box loop and couple the Sony loop to it. It may 
give me better results when peaking a frequency.  Since I no longer have an FM 
Yagi up, I tried with the wire element for FM,  no HD locally. Only one station 
(NPR) had RDS. Getting back to AM, KSL is such a potent signal off the Eastern 
beverage, I am not surprised I do get the HD (BOC) signal. Funny, when we 
visited KSL at the SLC convention in 2008, the CE said that the KSL IBOC signal 
could not be received in the building only 9 miles from the tx site, but it 
does get out on sky wave,.I notice one other thing abou!
 t the Sony IBOC. If there is any interference on the channel or adjacent it 
does not like it and will not show the HD logo. I doubt I will get any IBOC 
during the day, but who knows? At least I do get KSL.
