Yes indeed...a good thread...

It's too easy to plug-into an internet based station...there's just something about wrestling with an analog dial and a drifting station on AM or SW.

I remember, late one night in the 1960s in Massachusetts, my new little crystal radio that I made (with an outdoor copper wire antenna) for AM reception started pulling in VOA (Voice Of America--a broadcast to Africa...not sure where the transmitter was though).
