And with Franco we could not create stations freely, that came later with democracy, after 1976. We had an FM station with classical music some 45 Km away, in the provincial capital. Even when my parents bought a nice stereo system, that station was a bit noisy, spoiling the joy. And there were other stations, I don't know where, that had "modern" music which I did not like. It was later that "talk" FM stations appeared, in the 80's. And now at least one of those networks is killing their AM transmitters. Pity, there are rural and mountainous areas where FM reception is bad. They tell people to use an Android App instead (with registration!). >> I got this one when I went to uni: >> >> <https://www.etsy.com/es/listing/1791229461/vintage-sanyo-transistor- >> radio-amfm> > > I remember those ! :-) > > Alas most of those little old radios had rather > poor sensitivity plus poor selectivity. > > BUT, they were PORTABLE. The dial wheel was direct drive, not easy to tune :-) I rigged a DC connector on the side, connected to the battery case, and built a power supply (which still works). Otherwise, batteries did not last much. The radio itself should be somewhere in the house, lost. -- Cheers, Carlos.
