Thought I'd share a link I recently found, and knowing how many of us enjoy going to the Florida Keys . . .
http://www.us1radio.com/
In my opinion it's a really good radio station, playing music from the 70s to contemporary, and news at the top of the hour. The local news is pretty interesting if you're into the Keys. I've been listening at work in the afternoons for some time. I found it while planning an upcoming trip down there. (Yay!)
I grew up kind of a radio geek, when we thought that pulling in far away radio stations was a big deal and AM radio was king. There were several 50,000 watt stations whose signals you could get at great distances, especially at night. Growing up in Kentucky, the big one was 700 WLW in Cincinnati, just to the north. We kids thought that it was really cool that we could pick it up on vacation way up in northern Michigan and listen to the Reds games. And we always listened to Caywood Ledford calling the Kentucky Wildcats' basketball games on radio, so it seems perfectly normal to me to this day to get out the old Motorola AM/FM/SW and listen to the radio play-by-play of the Cats' night games, which I can get on AM 1530 (again out of Cincy). But I digress . . .
Another station I listen to on the net is this one

WELY End Of The Road Radio out of Ely, Minnesota. Listened to it while we up there in and out of the Boundary Waters, and it reminded us a little of the fictional KBHR in the TV show Northern Exposure. Kind of quirky, but I especially like the 10AM-11AM (eastern) show with Trader Craig. In the wintertime the weather forecasts are incredible (cold!).
Any other radio geeks here?
