I don't know, but it seems pretty obvious that iBiquity or one of their
large group broadcast members hired him to shill their flawed POV,
including trying to further impugn DX'ers. Matter of fact it seems to
be entirely for the purpose of discrediting the obvious problems first
raised by DX'ers but which have subsequently been observed with disgust
by non-DX'ers who'd bought into the hype, then returned their HD radios
because they didn't work.
