Philco 269 - 444 FIVE VALVE VERSION?
#14

Hi Chas,

I hear you. If you happen to be passing NYC vs Philly, I can give it a good home also.

@ RadioRoslyn, That's a great question. About 15 years ago I bought a Grundig all band pocket radio (with FM Stereo if using phones!) at closeout. I think it is continuous from 150KHz to 30MHz. Since the radio was ca 2000, I must assume that there is still LW activity either in Europe or somewhere else in the world.

As a kid in the 60s, listening at night on various AA5 radios from Huntington LI NY (I have lived in the same area all my life), I always wondered why I sometimes received morse code everywhere on the band. I recently learned through recent study of radio history that until sometime in the 70s, there was still LW commercial and military Morse code communication or some other Morse type signaling. Think it is all gone except the very long wave signaling to submarines.
