    [Other Topic] Whats your favorite radio station and why?

    For me over the years its been WDRC FM.I'm a bit disappointed how they play less of the 60 and 70s (50s a thing of the past) but its still no 1 in my book and I do like the dj's also.On the AM side its WTIC! I have been listening to them since the Bob Steele days and still like them for...

    [Other Topic] Just a Hunch on why RadioDiscussion really went down

    I may be way off base on this but maybe the real reason RD went down and Scott hasn't heard from the new owner is pressure from tv,radio etc stations. I don't think stations care to have open forums around talking about them. Could be that New owners were paid off to kill the site for good and...

    metv on comcast too short

    Comcast in my area uses wzme to broadcast metv which has a shortened schedule. AT&T U-verse in our area must be using a direct feed to metv since its full schedule and not using wzme like Comcast does.Sure wish Comcast would use same feed as AT&T U-verse.

    C versus KU

    Which band is most popular world wide? I think here in N America C-band has more to offer. In the few years I have been into FTA it seems to me that the KU stuff has been more reliable to receive and greater longevity.Set up cost and ease of use is also easier with a KU set up also.

    Mesh and solid dishes!

    How much loss can you expect in signal between a solid dish and one with holes? Example! Would a 6 ft solid dish be almost as good as a 7.5 ft mesh dish.
