"All these mountains" keep me busy trying to get talk shows.
I checked out satellite radio, but the "biggest" of the talk shows can't be found there.
Consider WLOB-FM in Portland. It's at 96.3. It's got a quirky format, (
Twilight Zone, Fibber McGee, audio-excerpts on weekends for example) but has several of the talk-show personalities mentioned here during the week. Its signal is consistently strong.
WABC 770-AM has a decent afternoon/evening signal out of New York City, and its morning talk-shows can be found on WLOB, above.
CCrane radio sells "
reconditioned" CC radios, so I'm thinking for 160+ bucks, the new CC radios won't be the answer. (A poster at another Winnipesaukee-area website was unhappy with their CC radio purchase).
Even WRKO 680-AM, strong a signal as it is, tends to fade at sunrise and sunset. For a $2 experiment, I bought a second AM radio at a yard sale. They're both tuned to WRKO, and oriented 180° out of phase to one another. (Meaning I'm looking at the
front of one, and the
back of the other at the same time). The volume averages out as first one radio gets the signal, then the other radio. It works!
I've never heard WEMJ 1490. Are we on the
same Lake Winnipesaukee?
