WABC 770am HD radio reception in Connecticut?

Question

Does anyone who lives in or near New Haven have HD radio and get good reception of WABC 770 AM?? I am thinking of buying an HD radio for this purpose but don't know if it will come it well.

Answer 1

I live in New York City and there are some stations in HD that I have a hard time pulling in!  And I'm a lot closer than New Haven.

The signal is much weaker than standard AM.  You'd probably have a better chance of pulling in WEBE108 than WABC.  But to check to see, you should go to your local Radio Shack and try tuning into WABC HD-2 from there.  THOUGH, standard WABC does travel rather far so you may not necessarily need an HD radio if it is solely about trying to pull that station in.

Answer 2

not likely.  the HD signal has a smaller coverage area than traditional analog.  go to www.radio-locator.com and you can look at coverage patterns for radio stations. some are now including hd coverage.

Answer 3

If you don't get an answer here, go to

www.radio-info.com

complete the registration proceedure, go to the boards, select Connecticut and post your question. I suspect you'll have an answer pretty quick.
