#Radio in the #UK just absolutely sucks!
I don't own a good #AM tuner, but I can only get one station at home around Newcastle (Greatest Hits) who don't even advertise their AM frequency any more, that's how few people use AM here.
There's only like 10 or so #FM stations. 5 of them are BBC stations including the local BBC station, most of the rest are owned by Global, and some of their stations (Metro and Heart for example) play basically the same things. Not to mention they're all syndicated. In Stirling I can get 103.1 Central FM, who I think are independent? But not in stereo.
There's a lot more choice on #DAB, but as Techmoan has covered before, the bitrates and formats DAB use is so low that it's utter rubbish to listen to compared to FM.
And of course there's #InternetRadio, but where's the fun in that? And what'll you do when you suddenly lose cellular connectivity?
Meanwhile Vwestlife in #NJ, #USA can DX all this at night, just on AM! youtu.be/F1j9L9rstws
This unassuming Fisher casseiver, circa 1979, has an amazingly good AM radio tuner, easily able to pick up virtually every clear-channel station within a 100...
