Hi Karl and all I sometimes listen to WCBS 880 over the internet, but annoyingly they block the local adverts and insert public notices or music which sometimes stops abruptly. Back in the 60s here I heard the real thing on MW, far more exciting days than the internet now. Sadly there are not so many clear channels in Europe now despite many MW stations closing. The expert UK dxers still pull in US stations overnight in winter but it requires being awake overnight or early and having a decent antenna, and a lot of patience. 73s Mike, UK
