RFI, all that stuff.....It is amazing what you can do with a good radio antenna, wire, filters, a better radio and all of that if you want to bother AND have a radio with an exterior antenna hookup. I have several SW radios around here with I almost NEVER use now including some small GRUNDIG pocket size AM/FM and 6 bands up to 30 Khz low frequency ones. Have a big elaborate old Radio Shack DX-440 one here somewhere have not touched in many years.
My dad was a good WWII and Korea NAVY electrical guy, taught me a lot including Morse code, radio, TV. I got in amateur radio when I was 12 in 1963 han my novice and tech licence then, went on to a FCC General when I was in high school. Built transmitters, receivers, antennas, filters, antennas, had a 65' tower out back all that good stuff.....now ancient history.
Was interesting, used to listen to *Artie Corso (sp?) from Havana, Cuba with my GRUNDIG pocket SW radio in bed late nights.
Best AM station out there WKBN 570 Youngstown, guys down south can listen to the Indians especially at night, oh well......
F'n BROWNS.
.........*oh BTW it was Arnie Coro co-founder and host of Radio Havana, est. 1 May 1961.
So what's the trick with digital? I used to be able to grab tv signals from erie to Pittsburgh to Detroit. Now I can't hardly get Cleveland or Youngstown.
