Where were you? I have to stand in the radio stations parking lot to get Err America. WRKO in Boston has great programing. RT. 84 in CT has its dead zones but I can always find something.
On trips down to DC from NH I can listen to WRKO all the way down to Hartford or even further the I switch to WABC, I think, out of NYNY and can listen to that all the way down to exit 8 or further on the turnpike. I have never had to listen to air america because I don't need to.
