Just returned from my annual two-week working visit to DC, and used my HD
radio for WAMU's two alternate channels. Their HD2 channel is 24-hr.
bluegrass
and related music, but one could receive the same on their
bluegrasscountry.org stream. Their HD3 channel has some nice alternative
music shows, like one
of Mary Cliff's folk shows, Afro-Pop, and World Cafe Live. Reception was
fine (at Rosslyn, VA) from first floor hotel room not facing outside, even with
only 6-inch wire hooked to antenna post.
Yes, here in Philly I find it handy to have some more BBCWS mornings on
WHYY-HD2, and to catch "Fresh Air" at an earlier time than the regular FM
airing.
