folks: do you regularly use your ham radio as a receiver for non-ham broadcasts for extended listening (ie not just seeing what stations you can pick up)? 🚀

@Athena I sometimes scan HF CB channels when driving long distances out of boredom. Usually uninteresting.

@Athena

For broadcasts: mostly NOAA and occasionally FM broadcast radio.

When I first got licensed as a teenager, I would listen to the FM audio for broadcast TV well after my bedtime. There's a very interesting sound to network TV dramas, particularly crime shows, when you're only listening to the audio track. I imagine with digital TV that has gone away.
