[Elecraft] OT: radio broadcast commercials

[Don Wilhelm]

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
