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.

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.
Neither do I. On a road trip, I may hear 15 radio stations a day. I
don't record the calls. And they may be 40 miles from where I'm
rolling at the time. The only reason I noticed the stations I
noticed is because the pilot wasn't lit. But I certainly didn't
spend any effort to find out who, or where, they were.

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

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

For the curious--Receiver in use: Drake SW-8 under dash, with
Hirschmann active on roof. And yes, with full stereo audio into the
vehicle speaker system. Where available.
