A Driving Distraction That Won't Distract You

[Steve Green NEPA]

Oh, boy!!!! Not only do you get your first car back, but high-tech has supplied computerized digitosis and digitronics that link up each of five preset radio buttons to any station you ever wanted to punch up when you first got the DX bug.

See, I'm missing those F'sOTW here on Sundays. Maybe others are as well. They were a sort of weekly welfare check. Occasionally they'd lead to DX for may not disposed at that moment, or a duty call to get records and lists more streamlined or orderly. So in the FOTW null I got the muse to be playful in chat (again) and ask for response.
I'll include mine a bit later. Let's see how far this Sunday funny-pages puzzle will go.

Five buttons. Clear reception on each for any station you'd want to hear again, from anywhere, at any past date, for any reason. Reasons for it all always welcome.

I miss those too. Someone thought they took up too much front-page real estate when updated all at once. That someone was wrong.
I have to think about your question, which is intriguing.

My first car was a pile of cr@p. I don’t want it back!😱🤮

On second thought, MediaFrog, nah; the car part is unimportant. Enclosed is an 8 X 10 black and white glossy testimony of how unimportant my own heap was.

Situating things in order of frequency (the only way I'd know how) ....

Button 1: Long live WCBS 880! Since it's my car, darn it, I'd prefer their mid-6o's overnight 'American Airlines Music Til Dawn' as a musical DX respite between TOH and BOH ID frenzies -- and in the day I want their 60's and 70's suburban-outdoor-broadcast of news and info that sounds like the station was broadcasting from some gazebo.
Button 2: WJRZ Hackensack/NYC signal on 970. For this city boy: gimme the 1966-1967 version of C&W. Mets games. 'Countrypolitan 97' had a Top 40 sound in the day (Ed Nielson was a terrific morning man) and more laid-back approach at night.... Jingle package with the logo from 'I'm An Old Cowhand' -- a natural meter fit for the 'WJRZ' calls ....... An actual weekly survey playlist of 100 *currents* for a greater sample of the genre than NYC would ever hear again. For our LPFM I approximated their stirring 'Country Classic' sounder for the one C&W crossover Oldie we'd play each hour.
Button 3: WNOR 1230 Norfolk VA. 1963 twice there on vacation. Top 40 that somehow combined nautical imagery with a merry-go'round soundtrack and with cartoon character air names like Sam Spade, Buzz Baxter and Steve Canyon. Gotta be my all-time favorite station. I'll enclose a sample jingle. Tough button to place under the 1240 Conelrad button because of others close to it.
Button 4: WGBB Freeport (Long Island) 1240, from their 1966 through 1973 era. They were a dayparted Smiling Susquehanna property that the company in York acquired and gleefully saw a big suburban market grow up AROUND it. The company detached several PA people there (PD, DJs, news staffers) for the fun. Chicken Rock by day, Top 40 at night (Supremes, Rascals, Beach Boys, Chicago) at night. Incredible community involvement; contests, school salutes. their own news department --exciting station.
Button 5: WDAE Tampa, 1250, circa 1969-1970. Vacation echoes again. Imo they were the best of three A/C - Chicken Rockers around the Boss Bay. Our wee LPFM up here was rooted on their sound .... casual, outdoor/tropical milieu, various small business salutes, mild talkups. We added some short-wave imagery and were more easy-listening Standards than WDAE. 50's and 60 's.
