Radio Around Camp Sumatanga

J

jo-nathan

I will be attending the United Methodist Church local pastor licensing school at Camp Sumatanga next week. What stations should I check out while I'm in the area? I'm not too familiar with the area so I'm open to suggestions!

That's my favorite place in the world. Radio reception is horrible there but that's actually a good thing. Camp Sumatanga is the perfect place to tune the rest of the world out. Enjoy your time there and know that I am jealous. Take a hike up to the cross and the chapel on the mountain, see if you can make it through Fat Man Squeeze and thank God that the food is a lot better than it used to be. If you just CAN'T help yourself then you should be able to get my station, Rock 105.9.
 
Is the camp down in a deep valley, or something? It's within earshot of Gadsden, Anniston, Birmingham and Huntsville as far as theoretical radio coverage. I'd definitely see if you could snag some Chattanooga or Atlanta from there, both bands, just to see what ya get.
 
Chris is right. Radio reception is horrible as well as cell reception. Being in a valley blocks most everything. For steady anything, you have to get back to the main road. But like Chris said, that is a blessing when you are there. It takes away temptation.

Some threads bring us subliminal information.

Jonathan: I wish you well on your goals. Finding ways to effectively share faith in the time in which we live can be a life-long journey.

And that others knew what Camp Sumatanga was without having to be told is part of that "subliminal information".

Now the question is: Do you take the radio.... or do you leave it at home. (Maybe leave it in the car... just in case. ;D )
 
Well, I didn't listen to much radio while I was actually at camp but caught several stations while on the road home. I have to say that 94.1 ZBQ in Tuscaloosa sounds horrid. The imaging is dated, the flow of music was awful... It was painful to listen to the state of this once great station. As much as it pains me to admit that I liked a Cumulus station, their new(?) CHR signal out of Birmingham sounded great.

The rest of it was just kind of there. Meh.
