[ADXA] San's XM announcement.

[WB5JJJ]

I had a huge (really huge) salvaged SW radio from a Navy Minesweeper in my
bedroom.  Wire antenna and inside were 40 or 50 "peanut tubes" that were
WIRED onto terminal strips.  I also listened to Dick Bondi on WLS for many
years on that radio and others.  Also so many QSO's before I got my
license.  The BFO was a bit unstable to say the least.

If you listen around on AM broadcast today, either the receivers we have
today or sorry or the stations just don't propagate as well as in the
60's.  Even with my outside wires today and a 7300 or 7610, they just don't
"hear" as well as a 5 transistor, 9v radio did back in the day.  And our
car AM radios, might as well not even be there.
