"And now for something completely different" (off topic too!)




So having a little time this week, I decided to service my radio. It's a Murphy A72 which is over 75 years old.

Thought it might make an interesting break from motorcycles...

Hello to your radio from mine.... a "Bush"; the logo can just be seen on top. Can't do the fancy stuff like your video, which I enjoyed.
Anyway it's in good working order and I can remember being enthralled by the lighting up of the different wavebands when I used to see it, visiting my grandmother. She usually seemed to have it tuned at "Droitwich"

Whilst we are on other activities, here's a short vid called "Bangstick vs. Dial-up modem"








I think I need to cut down on the calories a little?

Valve radio's wonderful, when I were a lad I had a Barker 88 in my bedroom and a pair of pilots headphones plugged in to the jacks so I could listen without my parents hearing.

I am in wonderment.



Got the long aerial sorted and tonight I am getting London gold on 194m (1548 KHz)

Absolute radio on 247m (1215 KHz)

both in very good quality (for medium wave (AM)



not bad for a 1939 Valve radio with a bloody long bit of wire hanging out the aerial socket!



P.S. also getting many other stations, but they are all talking 'foreign'.

forgot to add, am halfway down France on the swiss border.

From what I can make out that looks like a lovely place where you live, did you miss by the way at that short range? A shotgun will sort it.
