Re: [PLUG] OT: MontCo Dispatch system web & RSS

I had a Mickey Mouse transistor radio when I was a kid, and spent my nights with it under my pillow going from station to station, mostly hanging on KYW and WFIL. But one cloudy night I got a Cubs game being broadcast from Chicago and I felt like I was in a parallel world. It was awesome.

Speaking of Dxing, I had a really odd AM one a few months ago.  I have a
cheap shower radio and I listen to KYW.  One night I could NOT tune KYW
on 1060AM, but I got the Chicago and Boston equivalents for a little
bit.  I also got 1010 WINS in NYC, but that's not that big a deal.  The
tuner is junk and the dial is very sloppy and inaccurate but...there it is.
