General Radio Discussion / Re: Simon Mason's old website re-uploaded

A friend of mine says that my location right smack in the middle of the USA limits how many states I can get on my little radio, the wire helps a little, but I was disappointed last night. If you were stuck on the Kansas/Missouri border, what setup would you favor?

General Radio Discussion / Introductions! Just got a Tecsun R9012. Any stations I should look for?

I'm a musician and writer in the midwest USA, and just got a Tecsun R9012 for grins, and in hopes of better sources of news overseas than I get here in the US. So far I've heard several Spanish-language broadcasts, British-accented talk, Australian talk(both the British and Australian shows were about Covid), heard asian music, Japanese talk, Alex Jones(not surprised), and religious programs. My favorite so far is a music station called All Tribes Radio. I don't remember which band and frequency, sorry. It was playing cool 80s-y music that was close to Synthwave. I kept moving the dial around and wasn't able to find that station again. Stations go in and out depending on where I am in the house and which direction I'm facing. Definitely better sounding through headphones. I recommend the extra $10 wire antenna you can get with the Tecsun on Amazon, I think it helps. Let me know your experiences with this radio and any suggestions for stations I should look for. Thanks!
