KDFC Classical Radio Station Heard Again in Pacifica: Loud and Clear in Most Locations

Classical-music lovers on the coastside have been without an audible signal from KDFC since the radio station sold its valuable 102.1 frequency last year and gave up its commercial sponsors, becoming a listener-sponsored station at a much weaker position on the FM dial. But recently it moved its transmitter from atop the USF campus to a Sausalito hilltop. Now 90.3 comes in nicely (at least on the car radio and Sangean digital portable radio) around Linda Mar and Sharp Park (other parts of Pacifica still to be heard from; let us know if you are getting a signal in your neck of the woods—just click our Comment button below). Strangely, reception is lousy inside the house, so we stream KDFC on iTunes (under classical radio, left sidebar) on a MacBook played through a Bose Wave radio. You also can stream it with the free Triton player at KDFC.com or Comcast cable channel 981. Other listening options are available at:

All Aboard The Train: Americana Radio Online

Jean Bartlett wrote a nice piece in the August 21 Pacifica Tribune about The Train, a new Internet radio station put together by Jonathan Little and Dave (Duke) Sholin. Comments man about town Jim Wagner, "I've known Dave for a long, long time. He's famous in his own right. When we get the opportunity to get together, the discussion invariably revolves around music. This station is a slice of Americana, a look into our musical heritage. I encourage you to tune in and let Dave know that you're listening."
