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. ;-)

Tubes can be fun. Just be careful not to get zapped by the high voltage
power supplies..that isn't fun.

EMP? If your radio is subjected to one of those you won't be needing a
radio.

Have fun with the tubes and 73,
