Lookie here, Sweet Cheeks:

I've been a radio junkie for 50 years, listened to ''Suspense'' on a 6
tube superhet with the 7 series loctals under the blankets. Had a
Truetone in my bedroom throughout the '60s, went through the
Hallicrafters thing, then the DX-150 series solid states, Uniden
(2024?) Sony ICF-2010, Lowe HF-150, Drake SW2, R8B, Stewart-Warner
R-390A, Racal RA-17, etc. I am fully cognizant of the radio universe
and I think satellite radio is fun.

If he were BUYING a New Car: Then a Monthly "Pay-to-Listen"
Satellite Radio Service like XM or Sirius might be a worthwhile
option to consider.

However - Most People would rather Listen to the Radio for FREE !

And the most "Cost-Effective" 'choice' for an AM/MW Radio
Listener is a 'new' High Quality AM & FM Automobile Radio
that has a Superior Tuner 'designed' for the Mobile
'on-the-road' Radio Listening Environment.

C. Crane Co. Claims "Purpose: Improve AM reception on your
Automobile. Remember: An antenna is more important than
your radio, always! This Loaded Coil Antenna will improve
reception by almost double on AM and may improve FM.
Our antenna works by increasing the electrical length
over your existing antenna. The antenna has a coiled
stainless steel spring which will allow the antenna to
bend under the pressure of high speed, and helps prevent
damage. Our version is less susceptible to static caused
by spring movement. Although our antenna does not introduce
any radio noise, it will pick up noise from your auto's
electrical system and more noise from power lines when
they are overhead.
