When you could pick up a summer ball game but the sound was so chitty and the static was so bad you couldn't decipher who was playing.

Remember pulling out the metal antenna? I remember a vinyl case they would have.

Remember the the little square Motorola radios about three times the size of a cigarette pack? My dad gave me one for Christmas when I was a kid. Made in Japan of course. The case was made of leather from the Japanese Ryukyu islands. When I listened to a ball game after bedtime, I had to turn the radio way down and put it on the bed next to my pillow. I could smell the leather, and the smell comes back to me just remembering it.

Wally World has cheap ones for $7.00.

I used transisters for years sitting up a tree or on a windmill deer hunting with an ear plug to Cowboys or college football, etc. Freaking mule deer can hear it to 75 yards in cold weather with it turned real darn low.

During hunting season we would gather somewhere on the mountain at noon and eat lunch and listen to Paul Harvey.

Yeah I don't know how We made it without them warning stickers all over our guns and stuff. I had the ole transister radios and the walkie talkies were hell of a lot of fun too.

Just sent my 1987 GE Superadio II to the doctor. It failed after only 33 years. Or at least the AM band failed. Which is it's main job description. FM don't work in the mountains, and the old GE sucks in AM from Los Angeles to Seattle, Boise, Reno, Denver, Salt Lake, Spokane. Sure hope it's not a death sentence.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I have a radio shack transistor radio in my box of emergency supplies. Still use it on occasion. Kept it with me at work after 9/11 so I could hear all the crazy talk going on.
