As a younger person (25 in July), I must say that I actually have to
agree with the fact that it's the knobs that make SWL fun. There's
just a sort of thrill of the hunt you get when you're slowly turning
through a band "stalking" a signal and there's the thrill of
"conquest" once you've pulled something in. If I had a newer radio
where you could just punch in a frequency, I don't think I would
listen NEARLY as often as I do.
