Is there a way to get any radio station, anywhere?

Question

So I'm moving to a town about 2 1/2 hours away from where I live now, and I was wondering if there is any possible way or any piece of equipment that I could purchase that would make it possible for me to get any radio station, well the stations accesible from Toronto and area, in the place that I will now be living. If you know a way, please help!

Answer 1

There's a couple of solutions...although my one is likely to be considered crazy.

You can try looking at thier websites, it's likely they have an online stream. There is no "one-stop" place that has every radio station online, it's usually not legal for third parties to stream a radio station (and in the US, it's against FCC regulations).

With that said, sure, it's entirely possible if you get the right radio and a right antenna to sometimes pick up these stations. However, the radios and antennas designed for this purpose are EXPENSIVE and reception is not guarnteed. It's possible (depending on the actual milage) that you might still pick the station up. There's a couple of stations that have transmitters 2 hours away from me but with thier location get really good range...there are also stations less than an hour away that don't reach this far.

I live not far fom washington dc, with my radio and antenna setup, i can routinely pick up Philadelphia...but I run into the problem of other stations stepping over it..and it's possible you'll run into that problem as well..and getting it set up is not for the faint at heart.

Answer 2
