Follow-Up Comments :

Actually the distance was about 55~60 Miles and it was
the 1st AM/MW "HD" Radio that I have been able to Hear
up here in Twain Harte, CA.

Again the Stereo {Bumper} Music sounded OK -but- the
Talk Radio Hosts and the Fox News Readers voices all
sounded thin and tinny with an echo. I assume that this
was due to the KFIV 1360 kHz Radio Station's Audio
Processing or may be the Fringe Area reception
characteristics of IBOC -idk-

I general the few FM "HD" Radio Station's Music Sound
and Voice Quality that I have heard has been 'as good'
or 'better' than the Analog FM Radio in Stereo up here in
the Foothills; that I can get from the California Central
Valley Cities around 60~90 Miles away.

Currently using a Vertical Rectangle Loop Antenna that is
about 6-Feet High by 24-Feet Long (60-Feet Around) with
a Coax Cable feed-in-line. Pointed at Modesto, CA.
Plus a Radi-Osophy HD-100 Radio.
