Back in the 1950's almost any cheap little transistor radio I owned that
had five or six transistors could at night time pick up some radio
stations in New York City and Denver and Detroit and Minneapolis and a
radio station in either (I forget which city now) Los Angeles or
Sacramento.

I would not have thought that there were any CHEAP five or six
transistor radios in the fifties. Didn't the Sixties bring in the less
expensive sets?

The first generation of transistor radios cost several hundred dollars
in today's money, which is similar to the first pocket calculators in
the 70's.
