I'll have to agree. You can find interesting music on shortwave, but
we're talking Russian folk music and African pop. It doesn't sound like
your taste in music is THAT eclectic, so Sirius has 12 channels each of
practically every format you'd ever want to hear. Depending where you
are in Canada, you may be able to receive FM from the northern US with
the right equipment. I don't think that the Tivoli Audio Model One is
still made anymore, but you can probably find one on ebay. Best FM radio
ever built. Then look for a real FM antenna, not just a length of
twinlead but something from C. Crane.


I have to disagree. I get plenty of music on short wave other than
Russian folk music and African pop. Radio Netherlands last weekend
played classical, Radio Japan contemporary pop, rock, punk and
and Cuba has their own stile just to mention a few. Various Island
ethnic music from Radio New Zealand. Radio Australia with old rock,
contemporary, punk, country western. Then there is All India radio. If
you want to hear something different your best place to hear it is short
wave.

Once upon a time, HF was the place to go for eclectic musical
esoterica. Times change.
