1998 was the last time I lived in a place with relatively low RFI. I've lived in three different locations since then, all in Fresno or Clovis and each one was worse than the last for RFI. I'm in the process of moving this week. Leaving a place where even the FM band was HORRIBLE.
I bought a Grundig SAT800 in 2003. I have never yet been able to use it! Of course now that I have fairly quiet AM reception there is practically no AM programming worth listening to. KGO used to be my daytime 'go to' station- now its like an endless infomercial Catholic radio is on a half dozen daytime signals. Spanish religion on several more Sportz up the ying yang. And of course the shortwave bands have become a vast empty place, expect for the preachers. I still cannot put up any kind of outdoor antenna. Oh, I didn't know how good I had it living amongst the orange groves of the Central Valley in the 60s.
