“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
-Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.

Nope, my future wife's cat took mine out about '86. It was the top of the line model from '68 my Uncle got for my Grandpa. That thing was a beast on the low bands and MW.
