But like they say,90 percent (or more) of it
is,Antenna,Antenna,Antenna.You can have the cheapest radio in the World and pick up all kinds of long distance radio stations with a great antenna and you can have the most expensive radio in the World with a lousy antenna and that radio will not pick up hardly anything at all but dust. cuhulin |
This is why Satellite Radio is the wave of the future.

With the fees I would pay to Subscription Radio in 2 months, I could
put together a very good antenna for office use. David wrote: This is why Satellite Radio is the wave of the future.

In this modern day of technology,why not have a shortwave radio at home
with a good antenna and control and listen to the radio at home while at work miles away in an office building? www.smarthome.com and some other stores sell devices which can be used to do similar things with computers.Or does that make any sense? OK,I am a dummy and I doubt if I could figure out how to do such things. cuhulin |
I don't do frogs either,but Brigitte Bardot wasen't bad looking back in
her day.I have been to Paris twice before,Paris,Texas that is and Paris,Texas is a hell of a lot better than paris,frogland can ever hope to be! cuhulin |
It is impossible to get 3 or more people together listening to the
radio.

Turn the Radio to the Station that you want to Listen to. Connect an FM Re-Broadcast Transmitter to the Window Radio. Set an "In-the-Office-Radio" on your Desk {in your Office} and 'turn' it to the FM Re-Broadcaster Frequency.

FWIW,
I ran the Marathon de Paris back in the mid-1980s. Started about 6 PM and we were running through the Streets of Paris in-the-dark on Cobble Stones. .. yes the french are 'truly' different ~ RHF .. .. |
