Re: [IRCA] AM Revitalization: From Hard Facts to Whimsical Fantasy

["R. Colin Newell" <coffeecanuck@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Wifi radio as well - never use it. I can find an interesting
stream and listen to it for 10 or 15 minutes
then it either vanishes or the radio needs to be re-booted.

One of the reason why I never got on the SDR bandwagon - recording the
entire spectrum while you are sleeping
and then "DXing" when you get around to it, is not DXing - it is more like
"Binge watching the Soprano's" on Netflix.

If it ain't live, it ain't DXing...

Streaming is the same - it is sort of live and often delayed 10 to 15s or
more and it's pathway to you is exceedingly fragile.
