Radio is the transmission of signals by modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of visible light. Electromagnetic radiation travels by means of oscillating electromagnetic fields that pass through the air and the vacuum of space. Information is carried by systematically changing (modulating) some property of the radiated waves, such as amplitude, frequency, phase, or pulse width. When radio waves pass an electrical conductor, the oscillating fields induce an alternating current in the conductor. This can be detected and transformed into sound or other signals that carry information.

What radio stations are there that play classical music?
Q. I live in Florida and I love classical music but I always have trouble finding them on my radio. What classical music stations are there that I can listen to on my radio?

A. There are radio station locator sites, like that will tell you what is available in your are. But when I visit So. Florida every winter, from here in NY - I am struck by entering a wasteland of very little decent classical music - and a WHOLE lot of absolutely crazy, late-night far-right-wing ranting radio talk shows! I usually can find a NPR repeater - but I listen thru the night (Id o not l sleep well in hotels . . ) with headphones, and sometimes am stuck with Canadian all-news ( there's an auditory soporific!) or BBC news - ditto. You might discover that your mp3 player is your new best friend - especially at night. Added - since you said *radio*, I did not mention streaming - which is a GODSEND. You need never listen to 4am… [cont.]

Will satellite radio or internet radio through a cell phone work in a concrete building?
Q. I recently got a job at the dept of revenue, and have run through my ipod, and am tired of the radio. I have sirius in my car and love it and was wondering if the stiletto would work inside my work. If not could i get an iphone or something, and would that be able to receive the internet it needs?

A. I'm not sure about internet radio through a cell phone - it depends on whether your cell phone browser works in the area. However, unless you have window access, I pretty much doubt the satellite radio will work. Our XM receiver sits on a window sill and sometimes cuts out when a big truck drives by and limits the direct line to the sky. Good luck!
