Where are you? Do you know what your FM is doing?


Wondering if folks would do the favor of checking in with their general location and tell whether or not the FM stations in their area make it worth investing in a truly fine tuner. Seems most market suffer from "compression-depression" these days.

Coastal Oregon-- are you kidding? Although.......a college NPR station occasionally has some good blues programming, but not worth getting a good tuner for. We're more into salmon here: ). I do keep an old Adcom around for PAC 10 football games though. A high quality antenna is necessary for this, and I use an MD ST-82-- works great. Cheers. Craig
Los Angeles has the best public station in the nation IMHO. KCRW has a great morning show till noon of mostly new rock with live in stuido guest 3-4 times a week. I'v heard neil young, elvis costello, coldplay and many others. Weekends also have many music shows too. Check it out @ kcrw.org Jon
I live in Lafayette Indiana and I hate our radio stations. I swear they downloaded everything from Napster. Anyway, I sold my Mac MR71 knowing that it would never achieve it's full potential.

Like Mr Campbell I live in the Pacific NW in the town of Marysville I have been listening to a station where they play smooth jazz. Im not a wanderer when it comes to changing stations, I beleive we have a fair selection, I own a MD ETUDE and it has a dedicated yagi antenna 30 ft high I can pull in stations from BC and Vancouver island without any problem I feel you can have the best equ. 10b/ mr-78/ day sequerra and not have a GOOD antenna is like racing a Indy car on passenger tires.

Hey, Seattle has KEXP. This publicly-supported station is worth getting a tuner for all by itself. See www.kexp.org
It's nice to see a station with such a broad range of non-commercial music that posts its playlists on the web so if you hear something good you can look it up. I've found all kinds of great new music this way.
