I built a cats whisker radio, in the late 50's, got Luxembourg 208 no problem. Now THAT'S a blast from the past! Is that radio station still going? I remember buying my first "transistor" radio back in 1965. The BBC radio stations still included the Light Programme (now Radio 1) wasn't that the 4 or 5 Transistor one? ID: 478169 ·
