intersting read jeff. i guess when it comes right down to it, its a dead technology, especially tube driven apparatus! radios and radio technolgy reached its zenith with advent of integrated circuitry in the late 60's, with this nano, didgital age, i sometimes wonder how long terrestrial radio will be in existence. being the radiophile that i am, nothing gives me more solace and comfort than spear some distant invisible radio wave from the atmoshere , tuning with the analog in and around the noise to hear what i might be missing. oh and this must ne done on a vintage. one that broadcast my history, a radio that i tune on tonight, vibrated with sound of assasination, moon landings and epic music so long ago.

If it weren't for automobiles, radio would be dead today. They've tried several advances in radios, like FM-HD, am stereo, DRM, only to have them all flop out. You can't even buy a shortwave in a department store anymore, nor a boom box.

Ah good old S Pat, taking his regular dump on this site. If you hate radio and radios, why not stop the trolling and go spew on some site about a subject that rings your chimes? You contribute nothing to this site.
