There are only two stations I will bother with.

I get full limiting from both.

One uses almost no dynamic range limiting and one uses just a bit more.

You can try both of them online

I used to record for them, a local community licence one, and will go back to it.

The national public broadcaster's Classical feed is below.

On line the SQ isn't wonderful from either but they're okay.

Live acoustic concerts are IMO & E a high-end source. ? No storage medium.

Needs a good antenna.

I am not interested in, nor do I expect to find any 'gem' stations. Two gems will do.

It is a 'good antenna' - that is, it has a very narrow pattern and thus lots of gain.

It is aimed at one high tower with lots of stations transmitting from it.

Only two are worth the trouble.

Yes if you have metal tanks etc in the roof that could affect any antenna up there. Foil insulation, too. - Timbo in Oz 14:51:59 04/11/16 (0)
