Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

If radio is important to you investing in a directional antetnna with gain is a good idea.

Happy to advise. My main tuna is an old rebuilt valve simulcast stereo rcvr with an SS MPX kit inside from the UK, and the power amps off.

Bear in mind that valve tuners are generally less sensitive and less discriminating between close frequencies. So they tend to need an antenna that can help with that. They do resist RFI and EMI rather better though.

Driving valve tuners real hard is a good thing to do.

There's a US web site called FM Fool which will tell you
i) where your desired stations are and you can then plot their bearings from your place on a map.
ii) how strong their transmitters are.
