My 1620 experience was in high school and with half the class also being
Electronic Shop addicts, our 1620 played Morse Code messages through the
AM radio.
January-June 1971

You too? Hey, this is a small world indeed. You didn't happen to attend
a certain engineering college (now gone, sad to say) in Brooklyn, NY in the
late 1960's, did you?
Nope. U.T. Arlington (Texas), early 70s.
At one point I was addicted to beating 3D TicTacToe using the 1620 console
late nights when all sensible students were sleeping . . .
My favorite one would "play music" by running specific instructions / data
and the radio interference could be picked up on a portable A.M. radio. It
was controlled by the console switches.
