Maine is the largest state in New England by area, stretching from the sandy beaches of York County south of Portland all the way to the remote forests of Aroostook County near the Canadian border — "The County" as Mainers call it, covering more land than Connecticut and Rhode Island combined. Radio is essential in a state where cellular coverage drops off quickly once you leave the coast, and where lobster fishermen, loggers, and seasonal tourists all have different listening needs.
