When we traveled you never knew where you could catch Rush on the closest radio station. This was between the times when there was internet, but no cellular. I’d get online and find the radio stations where Rush was, and put them on the paper map along our route so we wouldn’t have to search with the dial hoping to hear The Pretenders or Rush’s voice.
Now, you just grab your smart phone while traveling and the info is at your fingertips.
We had the same issue when on travel. First thing in the rental car was to find the conservative talk stations and lock those in. In the time window when Rush was supposed to be on the air, we would scan manually through the dial to listen for his voice, because the autoscan would often miss the weaker stations. Once we found him we would lock that station in using the preset buttons. I will admit to returning rental cars with all the preset buttons set to the nearest Rush station.
