Am I reading too much between the lines ?

Yes, tubes. I have some that were pulled from circa 1960's television
sets, and I thought I'd use them, hoping that they'd be EMP resistant.
Been on kind of a survivalist kick, lately. Doesn't mean I'd be opposed
to using more modern equipment, though. One thing I saw that I liked in
one of the books I purchased was a loop antenna that uses transistors
to amplify the signal. Thought it might be easier than stringing up a
lot of wire. ;-)
