[quote=dsk]I You can't beat the sound that comes from one of these oldies, although it's hard to find something to listen to on AM these days, apart from talk-back radio, some low power community stations and the odd religious station. I used to listen to the cricket on it during the summer, but now that's all done by streaming on the Net.
Same on this side of the world. It was summed up fairly well on "WKRP" a TV show about an obscure AM station in the 70s. In one episode they had a consultant explaining that the AM signal was only suitable for voice, not the quality of music the public came to expect. These days with all of the apps on your phone, I think radio itself may be on it's last legs. The last time I had a radio on was listening to a TV simulcast on FM during a hurricane. I would have watched TV but my antenna got spun around pointing out into the gulf and I wasn't going up on the roof in 130 mph winds to turn it back.
