Re: Banter Talk
This is true, but after a real natural disaster, those smartphones and tablets will be useless for a while. We have a good old fashioned am radio in our emergency supplies at home.Weather101 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 21, 2023 10:13 pm Emergency radio will always be essential.
Nowadays tho when there's a natural disaster or emergency it gets sent to your smartphone/tablets.

Re: Banter Talk
Same Sniffyman l could never listen to just one station l would listen to every station up and down the dial and at night l would do DXing to see what long distance stations l could pull in it was a fun hobby.

Re: Banter Talk
Car makers were talking about doing away with the AM frequency but it's needed for emergencies when cells fail during a disaster your left with AM in your car or on your battery operated radio.

Re: Banter Talk
I used to listen to CBC radio driving back and forth to work everyday, but for the past year I've almost entirely just listened to podcasts. Some of them are on CBC radio (The Debators and The Age of Persuasion), but mostly it's stuff the CBC no longer approves of (Viva Frei, New Discourses, Honestly with Bari Weiss, Dark Horse Podcast, TRIGGERnometry, and *gasp* Joe Rogan).Forrest Gump wrote: ↑Fri Jul 21, 2023 10:09 pm Still like the radio in the car , and transistor radio in the bathroom![]()
