By the way, based on your handle, I've turned my radio down. Of course I respect the seven second delay at WJAZ.......

Where is the SXM antenna mounted in your car? What kind of radio do you have?
The radio I have is an add-on tuner designed for the Kenwood car radio I added to a 2001 Toyota Camry. The satrad antenna is magnetically mounted just above the front windshield. Calhoun, Pike (IL and MO), and Jersey counties in semi-rural regions near St. Louis can be heavily wooded. Dropouts for me are rare. Another nice feature is how SXM will start a song from the beginning when you press a preset.
Vermont looks awesome, based on the photos I've seen, but the Great River Road region and MO 94 wine country might give the area a run for the money!
Factory installed radio in a 2013 Malibu, shark fin antenna on rear roof.

So you say there's a race

You're for tough legislation
Thanks for calling
I wait all night for calls like these...
I don't think you are going to pass your haiku final exam.
Just quoting from the song...
This one?

I was not familiar with it. It's, well, unusual.
Yes, it was a post Steely Dan type song.This one?

I enjoyed it.
Have the (oh abut 35 years old) CD on my shelf, gotta rip it and put it on my USB drive that stays in the car.
It spawned the hit "I.G.Y.," a brilliant, sardonic look back at the innocent optimism of the late '50s.
Is it possible that SXM has a ground repeater in the St. Louis area, perhaps just to the north of it, which helps with coverage?
That's awesome!
Indeed. David, you should put down the Mariachi 8-tracks and give it a listen.
Not 8-tracks, but I spent yesterday evening listening to my collection of MP3's from my years at Emmis' all-Argentine rock station in Buenos Aires. Soda Stereo is NOT mariachi...
I don't know--I would think that ground transmitters would be closer to the city and major suburbs due to tall buildings blocking an overhead signal.

200+ million views in 10 years. Not bad. Sounds pretty cool, to. I take it this band or artist is a top seller in Argentina? And does the Argentine rock market extend to neighboring countries, or are these Argentine rock artists just big in Argentina?
There are Argentine rock artists that have had hits everywhere Spanish is spoken, and many others that have only been heard in the Southern Cone (Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay.
But there was enough Argentine rock for our launch of Mega 98.3 to be based on only Argentine rock artists. 100% local productions. In the first book, it went from about a 1 share as AC to a 17 share, The leading newspaper, Clarín, which in 2000 had a circulation of 1.2 million, wrote, "a foreigner had to come and show us that we Argentines love our own native rock!"
I programmed it for about five years until the economy disintegrated and Emmis sold the station. It was #1 for the whole time.

Indeed, I was raised listening to Mega in Buenos Aires, and for a time it was the only station I listened.
Thanks to Mega, a whole generation of boys were taught to love Argentine rock. Thanks for that, David!
