So why not let HD2s broadcast on the shortwave bands to multiply their reach?

I ougth to take a count because it is just possible that there may as many HD-2 as SW stations (not counting multiple transmitters of the same program). Where I am, I have 2 HD-2 and counted (with a decent antenna) 6 SW on 15 MHz SW. But then I am in the Middle of Nowhere.

People got to buy new radios for HD anyway, so tuning new bands with modern software controlled radio chips would be just a software change in most cases.
