TALKERS Exclusive: Why AM Radio Still Matters – And Why Cities Must Step Up to..
« on: November 23, 2025, 1758 UTC »
Tybee apparently alerted Boomer to this article, which in turn, he alerted me to this.   https://talkers.com/2025/11/17/talkers-exclusive-why-am-radio-still-matters-and-why-cities-must-step-up-to-save-it/      It's a neat read, and the columnist has his e-mail address in there for a reply, which I did. Enjoy....

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

Hey Thadood,

Per my previous posts, you know I am on board with AM.

Several very good factory built sets here with coupled passive loop antennas , fresh batteries , etc.

Even my simple single tuned crystal set loudly pulls in our EAS primary, WBZ 1030 Kc , on a short indoor wire - no problem at all.

Their generator is going to have to keep up with ME - I am good to go indefinitely with batteries. :)

I do have the components to set up for outdoor nighttime crystal set Dx for NYC ( etc)-  if needed and conditions allow.

I am ready here !
