@betojoven I use a stock AM antenna to get short locks on HD via skywave from NYC, Boston, etc at around 200-300 miles. The propogation of skywave is varying so its hard to keep it locked for a long time. But with clear AM conditions (no thunderstorms) it is easy to lock HD signals from a few hundred miles away, only for a few seconds, but its possible.
You are one of those individuals who hears/reads only the opinions they believe and then parrots them. AM iboc coverage extends well beyond the 5-10 mi distance (within a station's contour)I'am not going to jump through hoops for you and measure every mile between I and the AM hd stations I listen to but all are beyond the 5-10 mi nonsense.
One of the message boards you haunt has had a well known engineer refute claims such as yours and there several examples here. Not that truth matters to you.
The "5-10 miles" is just more of your usual deception.
"The only people who own them are curious DXers probably...."
Another one of your tricky gems. In reality it is the aging nostalgic DX'ers who are the most vocal naysayers.
If iboc fails, you had better develop an appreciation for religion, colon blow and ethnic on AM radio. That's it's future once the remaining listeners age-out or die.
To the originator of this video; anytime you express positive views on HD radio you can expect to be heckled by a sad cadre of frustrated dx'ers and AM nostalgics. Ignore them and show a little pity.
It's been over a year since this vid was made. At the time I was residing in an apartment that was on high ground 1100 feet above sea level and at least 50 feet above average terrain on the 2nd floor I used a Terk AM Advantage mounted on my terrace and ran coax cable
(75 ohm) back to the radio I sent the receiver audio signal over FM to a walkman to hear results of manually tuning the Terk to the station frequency I 've since moved and lost 200 ft of height which played a major role.
I can attest that this reception is TOTALLY plausible based on my own Chicago-area DX catches, sometimes lasting for extended periods of time, using only the stock loop antenna on a Sangean HDR-1. So far I have logged WHAM, WTAM, KMOX, WLW, WHAS, KOA and WHO, and when I say "logged" I mean locked the audio, not just showing on the display. Meanwhile I cannot lock 780 WBBM Chicago from 40 miles away at night.

"Most well known engineers agree with me"
Most? Whom might I ask? An ametuer w/ham ticket?
"Radio-Info HD board where you argue with almost everyone"
I "argue" with liars and those who try to portray a personal agenda as truth.
Stick to verifiable fact and no one will bother you.
"did you ask him how he got them, he wasn't using the stock antenna down below sea level that's for sure"
Stuff like that. You don't -know- anything about this recording..but you know it was somehow deceptive.

The official HD Heckler has arrived Mr KB1OKL.

Keep posting the positives.
