Looks like a good resource, Timbo - thank you.
Realistically, 95% or more of my listening is to one station - KSJR-FM, which is the classical Minnesota Public Radio station located about 11 miles away. FMFool shows it as requiring a 48' antenna for LOS reception, but realistically, I get perfectly acceptable reception with a mere dipole antenna only 4' above ground level. When I'm looking to broaden my horizons, I generally turn to the limitless dessert menu offered by the Cambridge. The audio quality isn't even close to the Kenwood, but it's sometimes nice to turn on a good blues station that simply wouldn't be an option on the FM.
