FM Tuner Advice Please. URGENT.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for that. Based on past experience I am resigned to a roof aerial - would you still recommend a 3 element Yagi?
BTW, how long do you spend grooming your 6 Maine Coones? - we have 3 Persian/Exotics and trying to keep them lug free is almost a full time job.
Cheers,

Get a pussy of the best kind - an SHDT (short haired domestic tabby)

How's your freeview? I suspect that one of the better freeview receivers may be pretty good on the FM channels. I'm not sure if FreeSat has radio channels either. Thirdly, what about streaming radio via a reasonable laptop and a Beresford DAC?

Yes a 3 element Yagi is fine on the roof too.

We estimate 2 person hours a day looking after 6 Maine Coons, but what could be better? Would like to add a Persian though...



Regards

Dave

Hi Dave,
Nice cat pic. I'm sure that I have seen other pics of some of your cats posted on AoS before.
If you are serious about getting a Persian I can thoroughly recommend Country Girl Persians in Shropshire BUT .... and it might be a big 'but', not counting the distance you are apart !! I'll come to that in a minute.
Our daughter and us, between us, have had 3 Persians from this lady, Karen Nursey, over the last couple of years or so, 1 tabby, 1 red and 1 blue tabby, all male. We have had many many cats over the years and I can honestly say we have never had (or seen) any more beautiful to look at and more beautiful natured cats ever and that goes for all three.
Now the 'BUT': -
Due to the recession her breeding business collapsed late last year and she has, for the moment, withdrawn from breeding and concentrated on her other hobby, body building, (honest !!). She is a lovely lady and breeds lovely cats. The last time we e-mailed her she was offering her 'surplus' adult cats and just keeping her core requirements for if and when she returns to breeding and she had a number of adult cats available, all with Championship history going back many many generations.
Hope this might be of interest to you.
Cheers.

Hi Dave

I would like to add a Persian, but seven would be too many. We have taken in full pedigree rescues (yes really) and six is OK in the house, seven is not, a shame!

Wonderful!!!!

I had some good advice once - if you want to REALLY relax, just look at a cat when it's asleep or just "chilling" and use that as a reference for relaxation. That pic above says it all and brings back some very happy memories of the two we had - best friends they were........................
