As many readers of my site know that I am a huge supporter of FM.... while I had a reasonably good FM broadcasting my city. It was drastically changed somewhere at 2011 - 2012. My main classical station was given new frequency and went under NPR umbrella. The guy who used to run spectacular broadcast from Harvard got sick, pass away and it was pretty much it. Nowadays we have 99.5 we supposed to be a classical station but they broadcast mostly idiotic music in the major key only, is a broadcasting the kind of barbaric way, conceptually and technically. They still have broadcast from BSO but the quality is dramatically far away from it used to be, not to mention the time not huge fun of what BSO doing nowadays. 


As a result, years ago I sold my German tuner, and my supercalibrated TU1 is sitting not being plugged in the system. I probably need to let it go as well. If I want to hear broadcast I mostly stream from the web sites that I like.


I'm still soldiering on with my beloved MR-67 but I fear in the next few years that it will sit silent except for the music of the spheres. At this point I'm not sure who would want it? My understanding is even Japan doesn't have much of a radio audience.
