Honestly, Internet and Skype and all that...they don't have that magic. And the radio was no novelty for at least 40 years prior to my birth so I was born into the era of well-developed radio and TV. Still the radio fascinated me from the very start and for many years when I was a kid and learning electronics all I wanted to make were radios. Eventually I outgrew it and went to build amplifiers. But....here I am in the beginning of my 50s and dealing with radios again, and not any radios - tube ones.
