Stereo destroys FM coverage. Those engineers were right.

And those that were purists and held to that belief....are all out
of
business.



Not so much. I encounter one or two non-stereo stations every
week
when
I'm on the road.


Please name them and their location.




I hear them when I'm on the road. I don't have time to catalog
them.

The last two I heard this past week were in southeastern Missouri
and
southern Illinois.

I don't know Peter...it sounds more anecdotal than anything....



No different than your assertion, my man.



You made a generalization about how many stations are still in mono...I
asked you to back up that statement...and you couldn't.



Just as you made a generalization about how many stations weren't in
mono. Also without any support.


Do you dispute that there most stations are in stereo?

I'm sure you don't drive the backroads with a pad and paper recording
calls, city of license, and whether the pilot is lit.


Then do a little research.

I might suggest this: The next time you travel, scan the dial. See if
you don't find a couple, yourself.


I don't know the last time I picked up a station that was in mono on FM
(unless it was a pirate.)

And then see if you can recall the name and location when someone asks
you the following week.


If I DID hear one in mono...I'd certainly remember it.
