I think that the grand discovery was made that A M radio wouldn't
cause the end of the world!!  Technology got ahead of CONELRAD pretty
quickly I think.
For a lot of years after I got my license we were supposed to monitor
broadcast radio and shut down if they did.  I just let a very quiet a
m radio run in the shack.  Now I couldn't hear it!!!
