Caveat Lecter


Great link.

Back in the 1950's almost any cheap little transistor radio I owned that
had five or six transistors could at night time pick up some radio
stations in New York City and Denver and Detroit and Minneapolis and a
radio station in either (I forget which city now) Los Angeles or
Sacramento.

I would not have thought that there were any CHEAP five or six
transistor radios in the fifties. Didn't the Sixties bring in the less
expensive sets?

You win. It wasn't until the little Japanese companies flooded the market
with cheapies that the prices became very affordable. Before that, an
all-transistor, American-made radio cost about one week's take-home pay.

The first generation of transistor radios cost several hundred dollars
in today's money, which is similar to the first pocket calculators in
the 70's.

But one of the immediate problems is closer stations getting in the way of
distant stations. A local station will block the use of that frequency,
unless you wait till it goes off the air for some reason. Same if KDKA
is booming in. The problem of receiving distant stations can't come
into play until you can eliminate closer stations.

An MFJ-1025/26 does this pretty nicely if your offending station is
groundwave, a bit more difficult if your station is skywave. It helps
to disable the MW attenuation (easily done, not easily reversible).

KDKA is the only radio station East of the Mississippi River that
begin's with a K.If I remember,there is only one other radio station
West of the Mississippi River (I live about forty miles East of the big
muddy) that begin's with a W.But I am old and senile (that married Irish
woman wayyyyyy over across the big pond spells senile with a p) and I
don't remember exactly.
