There are local fm radio stations that I like and aren’t just the same old songs rotated endlessly. One calls itself “Real Roots Radio” and has 3 stations it broadcasts on in SW Ohio and features old time country music, including bluegrass.
The other station, WSWO in Huber Heights, Ohio plays music from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. They can be streamed on-line at www.daytonoldies.org.
FM Radio, anyone?
I was a kid in the 70s. I remember listening to Detroit Tiger baseball on WJR AM 760 on summer evenings - the voice was Ernie Harwell. And I remember listening to music on our local FM stations, and FM sounded so much better than AM (well, of course it did!).
I remember the glow of the dial on higher end FM tuners, or on receivers. We had a Pioneer that was nice. But a neighbor had a beautiful Marantz with the heavy horizontal tuning dial. Today I own a Model 19 and a 2215b.
So, today I also own a McIntosh MR87 and I plan to showcase it in a whole house audio rack, with a rooftop antenna for the best possible reception. I also have a Magnum Dynalab MD-108 and I’m not sure where to put it, but it sure is pretty!
Yeah, I know, the SQ is crap compared to just about anything else these days. And radio stations just aren’t as good as they used to be, or as I choose to remember them (the exception being WXRT in Chicago). But I cannot let go! Anyone else?
