Morning all,
When i travell i tend to listen to my favourite station as we all do, now i listen to Triple J & in Melbourne it is 107.5 & from memory in Sydney it is 105.7.
The ABC used to make a listing that was available for purchase & was the size of a credit card & would open up to show all the stations so when travelling i would be able to listen to the one station where ever i go.
Now for all the music junkies it is online..so here ya go.

I only listen to ABC radio, AM, FM including JJJ ;)as I can't stand commercial radio and all the crap advertising:mad: And don't watch commercial TV either:p except if copied to DVD recorder so as to step past the ads, so easy:D

FM - Thats the PROBLEM !!
AM - Unfortunately in some respects slowly disappearing.

CD/MP3's/etc.... prob the best way to go

OR HF, Tune the Codan to some nice Shortware station or AM, or alternatively have a tune around the Ham bands....



Ah, I am assuming of course country travel... :p

or tune the UHF to whatever channel the truckies are on...... provides hours of entertainment on long drives........

Podcasts are the go. Free to download and there's some good ones from the ABC. All you need is a CD burner or an MP3 player.

I use Juice as a downloader which does it all automatically.

Really only when the boys in blue are out patrolling...

Yes, I do admit to having the CB sitting on Channel 40, 99% of the time driving outside the main capital cities.

Not good for the younger ears(8 yr old & 5 yr old) in the vehicle:eek:

BUT

When by myself, it can be rather humorous...
