Greetings!
Among my passions or, if you will, weaknesses, is antique radio -- more
specifically, broadcast receivers -- more specifically yet, tube portable
radios. I have a bunch including several Zenith TransOceanics (a G500, a
H500, two L600's and a B600, all of which work except the H500). I
acquired the B600 the other day and was fiddling around with it at 5 in
the morning, listening to KOMO News 1000 (Tacoma, WA; I'm in Vancouver,
WA). Just up the dial from this, in amongst the welter of stations, I
heard faintly familiar music -- the fanfare which accompanies Radio
Australia's hourly news on SW and on the Internet. Anyone know if
Australia is broadcasting (either Radio National or Radio Australia
International) on medium-wave just above one megaHertz? Or was some U.S.
station rebroadcasting it. I can hardly believe I heard Down Under on
medium-wave, especially from a T/O. But who knows?
73!
