I will be driving from Cedar Rapids to St. Louis on Saturday, most likely during the game. Does anyone know of any stations that would carry the game along the way or am I SOL when I lose 1540?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Webster City KQWC-FM 95.7 MHzCoach Whisenhunt 1/18/09. "There was never any complaints about not being named the starter, all he wanted was an opportunity and he took advantage of it. Kurt is probably one of the greatest individuals you'll ever meet. Kurt worked hard on a lot of things that a lot of times older quarterbacks aren't willing to do. That's a credit to his humility and his competitive drive, and the reason that we are here today in great part is what Kurt Warner has done for us." -
Anyone else in the DM area have problems picking up AM 1150? I can't get any reception after dark, even when I am out driving around, and I live just north of Des Moines in Grimes. Anyone have any suggestions? The only way I can hear the panthers is over the internet. I didn't have this problem last year when they were on 1350.Comment

We live in Carlisle and it's tough to get after dark...for that reason we're thinking about getting a home cpmputer and a high speed internet connection at home."10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

Ceasar-
You can pick up 1150 or 1540 in Des Moines (or outside of DM). However both signals aren't strong (1150 is strong during day, while 1540 is stronger at night). Check both. Otherwise listen online if you can.
As for driving to St. Louis...1540 carries a long way.The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.Comment

Simple answer is this...most AM radio's suck these days. In a 100 dollar radio, they might spend a dollar on the AM receiver.Comment

I'm a geek...few things excite me like a good AM radio. Mom has an old, early 1970's ear one in her kitchen, on which I enjoyed the UNI game Saturday. I can get stations from across the country on that thing, and she pulled in KXEL like I was sitting in downtown Waterloo.Comment

Serious question. Where can one find a "good" AM radio these days?Comment

It's pretty tough. Most car radios actually aren't too bad, becasue the electronics act as something of a powered antenna.
The simple answer is that the more expensive the tuner, and the better the antenna, the better the radio is going to get reception. I'm personally partial to anything Marantz makes, but that's just me. I'd also look through professional grade outlets, like BSW, as professional grade products are built for AM stations to use, and therefore have to be fairly good.
Supposedly, the CCRadio from C Crane company is unreal in terms of AM reception.Comment

How much would that run you?The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

I think that fancy one runs about 150 bucks...a Marantz tuner is a little more expensive then average, but we have a 'low grade' one, and it's fantastic. Marantz is a company that makes a lot of professional grade stuff, so their consumer stuff is basically pro grade, just in a prettier package.Comment

The C Crane company has their own website, though I've never used their products, just heard good things. Maratnz products are available at Hawkeye Audio/Video in Cedar Falls. I also would go through BSW (Broadcast Supply Warehouse).Comment
