Hi, Im not a big listener to BBC Radio 4, but I do sometimes listen to the shipping forecast. Here is my 1950,s valve radio, recveiving BBC Radio 4 on long wave, my mate gave me it, as it was heading for a skip when his mother in-law died. A rather dull video of the longest running soap opera in history. Steven.

I do listen to quite a bit of comedy on R4, occasionally via my Leak Troughline valve tuner.

Mine is a Troughline 3 with the mux output, which I pipe into a solid state decoder, for that modern stereo carry on.
I also only have (modern) valve amps, none of that transistor carry on.

I remember the Police frequencies you could hear, takes me back, we listened to them in school breaks We also had some walkie talkies that were on their channel, you could chat away to your mates and they would cut in and tell you to stop and that were coming to track you down, you didnt and so when they got close you had to leg it! I bought a Leak amp with a wooden case when i was a student, was a great bit of kit. Think I paid $20 for it and some bloke gave me more than that when I was about to bin it many year later, he was over the moon to find one. lol
