It's been a long day for me (drove from Fort Wayne to Rochester), and 
I'm calling it a night and leaving Total Recorder running for the next 
couple of hours just to see what happens with this one.

A few observations before I go - I'm having no trouble at all hearing 
KMOX or WTAM on the 2010. I hear some hiss behind WTAM in wide mode on 
the 2010, but I can null it pretty well. If this is as bad as it gets 
when we have HD at night (and yes, I know it isn't!), it won't be the 
end of the world.

Good heavens - they've got the chief engineer, Jerry Dowd, on the air 
from the transmitter site talking about spectral regrowth!

Still no sign of any HD at all from WBT on the HDT-1, not even the call 
letters on the display.

They're taking a phone call (12:26 AM) from Barry Thomas, the director 
of engineering for Lincoln Financial Media (ex-Jefferson-Pilot), who's 
listening in Atlanta and can't hear the HD audio either, though he's 
getting the data display.

Oh - and they're mentioning that they may be switching back to night 
pattern soon, so if it hasn't been heard yet out west, it may not be 
tonight...
