In 1978 and 1979, I worked at radio stations in Santa Barbara,
California, while I attended college there. The first station I worked
at had purchased a Volkswagon "Thing" automobile from a soldier who
brought it home from Germany. It had an AM radio that tuned the
European broadcast band, around 200 KHz, and every week, I would drive
it up to the top of the Los Padres forest to check the station's
transmitter.

I could here Deutsche Welle all the way up and all the way back down,
all during the ride, on about 200 KHz, which is the low end of the
band where aircraft marker beacons operate in the U.S. IIRC, I could
even hear the marker beacon at the Santa Barbara airport.

I was the happiest 26 year old in the world. I even learned a few
words of German!
