[Lowfer] LF BC on 40 year old Sanyo Transworld

[Dexter McIntyre W4DEX]

I pulled my 40 year old Sanyo Transworld out of storage and powered it 
up.  It still works!  I suspect the last time it was on was over 25 
years ago when I made my last move.  The pots and band select push 
button switches are a bit scratchy but the darn thing still sounds 
great.  I didn't have 8 D cells it requires for battery operation so I 
alligator cliped a small 12V SLA to the battery terminals.  I took it 
out about 100 feet away from all the house noise and did hear what I 
feel sure is European LF BC.  Not sure what frequency as the slide rule 
dial only has a few number on the dial ranging from 150 to 250 KC.  Yes 
it says KC on the dial.

Here's a link to several recordings I made with a pocket DVR:

Tom Petty's "Learning to Fly" still sound great!
