Well, and would the typical Romanian even be able to HAVE a fancy radio/TV back in the days of the Comecon bloc? We've heard-at least I have- That you guys weren't allowed to have lots of "Western items", because the Reds didn't want you picking up western TV/radio stations.They also used different frequencies, used PAL & SECAM, where we just had NTSC-"Never Twice The Same Colour" things like that. I think, honestly, BOTH sides used jamming quite often. I, for one, would have LOVED to have had a few of the examples of Soviet high-end hi-fi & radios. Over on AK, a few years back, somebody posted some pics & specifications of a little bit of it all. I think I can say that almost ANYONE would have been DELIGHTED to have some of it.....
