Interesting that you mention the FM Broadcast band predominance of commercials. They irritate me too, but I have settled on a local non-commercial FM station here. They broadcast only classical music, but it is listener supported and NO commercials and is available 24 hours a day.
BTW, if anyone wants to hear what I am talking about, you too can listen worldwide - they stream on the internet in 5 formats and are available on C-band and Ku-band as well. Any local cable company can retransmit their feed free! If you are interested in some nice commercial free classical music, check out http://www.theclassicalstation.org/ Apologies for the reflector bandwidth to those not interested. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I didn't even know that folk still listened to AM Broadcast anymore, HI > HI!
