WMT 600 Cedar Rapids Legendary Self Supporting Tower Collapses In A Storm

The technical side of broadcasting. Think IBOC is a sham? Talk about it here! How about HDTV? Post DX reports here as well.

You have to forgive Turkeytop he’s mentally challenged when it comes to internet anything. He doesn’t use a cellphone and doesn’t know if his wall phone in his kitchen is a smartphone. He does have SiriusXM in his vehicle.
Oh I know about him. He is the one who admitted to malicious destruction of property at Walmart because he wished it were still 1979.
Are you referring to the ice cream situation?

And your inflatable doll is a real woman.
Please explain how my internet radio receiver is any different than your radio? The fact that you resorted to a vulgar response shows you are nothing more than a sad old man who hates change.

Internet radio is my first choice, my second is a USB stick just plug and play. I’m 65 years young and I said young because I keep up with technology. If I didn’t I would be feeding my horses right now just to go into town.

It will be interesting to see if WMT has similar issues. Yet new Cell Phone towers seem to pop up daily...
These two short videos of the WTVN site were posted just a few days ago. Shows a six-tower array at WTVN, including the aforementioned replacement tower, which is up but not yet in service. So, they must have worked out the zoning/NIMBY issues.

Internet radio is radio.
But not nearly as reliable in my experience. Cuts out all the time, every day, if it works at all. It's a near daily frustration with me. I'd rather just turn on an old school radio.
Never experienced any problems with internet radio via my flip phone. And I paid just $20. From Tracfone for the phone had it for 3 years and pay $25. for 3 months of service. I listen to nothing but internet radio maybe on occasion I’ll plug a USB stick in the car and listen to music I downloaded through the years.
The phone speaker sounds like two tin cans and a rope!
Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!
