My parents went on to explain how it was before TV and What shows they loved as kids. My dad loved "Sky King" "Let's pretend" and "Lone Ranger" and My Mom loved "Sargent Preston" "Fiber Mcgee and Molly" and "Aldrich Family"!! At home I scand the radio to find station that had OTR nights and found an Canandian station that every sunday for years played "Suspense", "Gunsmoke", "Dragnet" and "The Shadow" I began taping shows (on 8 Track which says alot about my age! I'm 40!) To this day all 4 these show are my favorites!! I listen now XM radio and catch pod cast online. But nothing beat just coming across a show being broadcast on radio!!

More recently found that a local radio station broadcast them in the late evening and decided it was time to find a tube radio to listen to them. Found a nice Hallicrafters and a pair of magnetic headphones and having some real fun. I am starting to consider building one of those low power tube am transmitters to broadcast through to reintroduce that golden sound that only am and old tube radios can introduce. I first listened to a transistor set and it sounded too sterile and lifeless.
