Greetings all; I will be away from this list until Monday, December 29th so I wanted to take a second and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and our families wishes for a Safe, Healthy, Happy and Prosperous 2009. Of course, I'm also wishing you the "best of DX" for 2009.
I have discovered something possibly devastating - the radio in my 2002 Windstar van (easily the most sensitive radio that I own) seems to be not doing so hot on AM, anymore. This started last week. I hear lots of dull hiss, which is not IBOC and the radio is less sensitive. I'm hoping it's just a loose antenna or ground connection. That radio normally rocks, AM or FM. Colin - have fun in Hawaii. The Eton e100 Slider sounds great but I doubt that I will find one of those at Goodwill :) I did find a fully functioning GE Superadio (original model) at Goodwill last week - $4.50. I put in some bargain basement Heavy Duty D-Cells (from the new merchandise section at Goodwill) and it brought back memories of my first SR from 1982. The first set of batteries in my old one lasted 3 years. I passed on some kind of "Talking House" FM transmitter with a cassette player. It was $6 and might have been a "tinker toy." 73, Dave Hascall Indianapolis, IN _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
