Listening to Radio Georgetown is a simple as turning on a radio.  Our broadcast frequency  is on the AM Band at 1610.

If your radio is digital, simply tune until the dial displays 1610.  If you have an analog radio, tune the dial to the upper part of the band around 1600, then fine tune until you hear the broadcast.

It is important to remember AM radio is subject to a lot of other "noise".  Interference from electricity is probably the most common problem to receiving a good signal.  Electrical interference can come from power lines and transformers, car alternator and generators, and of course from thunderstorms, even if they aren't close by.

Once you have tuned in the signal, you may find the signal is stronger by rotating the radio.  The antenna for an AM radio is built into the receiver and by moving the radio you are actually moving the antenna.  AM radios do not use the silver extending antenna on the back of the radio, that is specifically for FM reception.

Don't forget batteries for your radio.  If power is out your radio will depend on the batteries to operate.  Be sure to plan for a power outage in a storm and have plenty of batteries on hand.
