for me, somewhat the "chase", playing around with equipment, wire antennas, etc. was fun (sort of like the audiophile quest for perfection in our audio setups), and going back far enough the content was equally important. Nowadays it is no big deal to listen to the BBC world service or canadian radio, etc. but pre-internet, it was essentially SW or nothing. -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88037 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
