38-116xx project
#7

Well I think it's a matter of tastes. You are right there are lots of things to listen to a the am bc band but is it something you enjoy listening to. Here it the Philly area there is a lot of news, sports, and talk radio. I have nothing against these formats just like music better.

Growing up in the '60s, Top 40 RnR was king so I do enjoy the oldies but none here on am. As I tune across the am band I could count on one hand the music stations and half are Spanish speaking broadcasts.FM is another story there are several good oldies stations.
One of the ways to judge how well a set works is by the fidelity it reproduces music. Now days it's a bit harder to tell. I guess I just miss the old days!

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
