RadioBanter - Ex took RFI, left me with clear AM

My wife met somebody online late last year and fell in lust with him, so
she and I got a divorce which just became final.

The first night I laid here alone, sleep wouldn't come, so I turned on
my radio to see if anything could help. The first thing I noticed was
that the AM dial was full of stations. That was strange, because it was
usually full of buzzing. But the buzzing was gone now, and it had been
replaced with real radio stations! So I spent that first night tuning up
and down the AM band until I finally fell asleep from sheer exhaustion.

Now I'm sleeping fine, but my radio continues to amaze me with its full
AM band of clear stations every night. When she was here, she and her
son kept their televisions and their computers (complete with wireless
mouse, keyboard, and speakers) turned on 24/7. When they left, they took
all those noisy electronics with them.

I still have a computer, a router, a cable modem, and a television, but
I turn off the computer and television when I go to bed, and my router
and modem don't seem to make much noise or I would turn them off as
well. It's nice being in control of my own RFI for a change.

My radio listening is now AM 100% percent of the time. When she was
here, I'd try AM for a few minutes and then settle on FM before falling
asleep. But since she's been gone, I haven't run out of things to listen
to on AM yet, so my radio stays on AM all the time now.

Sounds like your situation improved on the qrm and other matters!

Still enjoying that Grundig Sat 800?
