This is
further evidence of the spectral inefficiency of “HD Radio”. Stations that once
had good to fair signals are either no longer audible, or have had their signal
strength significantly reduced. Note that WSDZ’s
digital sidebands have wiped out a station 50 kHz away from the main channel.
That’s bad news if you live in
