BC in a "noisy" building

[Electronic M]

I'm lucky, I guess. As a software engineer who programs remote crane(mostly) control systems I've got a BIG desk (essentially 2 at right angles) to lay all the gear I have to test my work with out on. Keeping my Zenith C835H ~3'-4' away from my laptop results in clean reception (except when I set up a remote next to it) on Am and FM with the loop...I've got metal cubes around me too, but am against a cinder block wall on the side most of the good locals come from so there is not much it need filter through....
I don't run it much though since I don't want to bug my cow-orkers.

Interesting how a simple set shines in a difficult location like that.

This is what I've been listening to the news on each morning...a 1925 Resas Tone-A-Dyne I picked up on ebay. Built a power supply to match the battery voltages and it plays.....well, it plays like a 1920s tinny squawk box

It is cool to use, but listening fatigue sets in after 15 minutes or so....bout long enough for the news.

Now there is a radio that needs an operator with a license, TRF all the way

I forget where I picked that up, but I do hear it here occasionally....Here in the dairy state if someone ain't orking the cows they start to get lonely.

Cow Orkers must be sumpthin' akin to Superb Owls.

Sounds like my first old lady.
