Now living in Utah, obviously I can't listen to WLS directly - at least during daylight hours. Nice to listen to the internet stream. I lived in Chicago for a time 20 or so years ago, and fondly remember them as the "Big 89."
A major interest in my hobby is restoring vintage broadcast receivers, and also building high-performance crystal sets. I have one local AM station in Provo that broadcasts music. Otherwise, it's band edge to band edge of conservative talk and sports. I've set up my own Part 15 transmitter so I can at least have something worthwhile to listen to on my old radios if the Provo station doesn't suit me. Now, KSL in Salt Lake, for example, has gone digital. They still broadcast analog as well, but the digital content spews 30KHz wide! Why does Rush, Sean, et al need "digital" AM? The market might be small, but I believe there is still a market for music on AM. 73, Joe, N6DGY Pleasant Grove, Utah On 5/28/07 8:20 AM, "Robert Nickels" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The "Big 89 Rewind" aka WLS MusicRadio is back the air today - listen > live at www.wlsam.com if you're not within the sound of Lyle Dean's > voice.
