Locally we have one. However on a road trip from PA to TN, I don't think I could find a single non-country music station once outside the state of PA so I wasn't overly surprised to learn about country music's ranking.

Just lost a "local" classical station WSKG from Binghamton NY when they decided to change to all talk format which I wasn't very pleased about. Neither was Steve Rowell from Audio Classics who used to advertise there.

I have nothing against country, just not my favorite genre. Sadly classic stations are getting few and far in-between.

I typically have my iPhone plugged in the car so from there, Tidal, IHeartRadio, etc.. endless music for my trips. With the Tidal mobile app, the music is downloaded to the iPhone so no need to waste the bandwidth.

Congrats on the magnum dynalab. I have the 108T and it is my most used source - sounds fabulous (so long as you have access to quality stations and programming).


As to the above, I didn’t even tell my boss about it and it took her a while to notice. After she heard our favorite jazz show one Saturday night, all was forgiven.

Mount the antenna as high up as you can and in the clear. Use a good quality 75 ohm cable. Ground the antenna if outside with a separate conductor to your main ground rod if possible. If not drive another ground rod near the antenna.

95% of people will never do these things. Wow, that just sounded like cheesy internet click bait.

Riddle me this; I get perfect FM reception from Internet radio from Botswana, but nothing but major hiss at home?
