hi all. i guess while you are on the subject of mw. i used to pick up
wcfl in chicago on one of those little pocket radios every night when i
was growing up here (also in central ohio). what year did wcfl quit
operations? i went thru a bunch of 9volt batteries come to think of it.


I think it was in the mid-80's that WCFL ceased to exist? They are now WMVP and
broadcast sports talk.

I too went through a lot of 9 volt batteries with the little portable underneath
my pillow.

I still have the Pansonic T-601 six tranistor that I got for my
birthday 40 years ago - and it still works (though not well). A radio
the size of a package of king size cigarettes, and at night I would
listen to WBZ in Boston from my bed in Detroit. That would fascinate
any kid - it certainly did me!

heck, you had the best rock and roll station right beside you. cfl came
in around 9-9:30 at night here. i have to check and see if mom has those
radios packed up somewhere. all had the leather case. i have a letter
from wcfl they sent me about the song "american pie" bob dearborn wrote.
man i feel old. also had a zenith shortwave that had about 20 tubes that
lit my room up at night. tall as i was.

I don't care what they say.There are NO transistor radios than can match
those old tube radios.Espicially those old wooden cabinet floor model
radios,and the sound quality.Bose,y'all haven't learned **** yet!!!
