Re: Sunday, February 26, 2006
WAMU gets out like crazy, doesn't it? In the mid 1980s, I was living in a dorm on a hill at Penn State in State College, PA, about 180 miles from Washington, DC. I had a Sony ICF-2001 that I bought with the money I made as program director of the student radio station, then known as WDFM. The radio was primarily a shortwave receiver, and a revolutionary one at that, but the FM section was amazing too. And from my hill with this hot as hell radio, I could hear stations from Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, and amazingly, WAMU from Washington. And that was without an external antenna. I don't think such reception would be possible from New Jersey today (although maybe from Sussex County, who knows?). Here in Monmouth County, every available frequency is full full full. No such thing as FM DXing here.... :-( There are responses to this message:
