It'll be AM only and crap for distant low-signal stations.

Pig Cat Messages 5,473 Location Suffolk Monday August 16, 2010 #6 Well as long as it can pick up BBC 6 Music and The Archers I reckon Ollie will be happy.
hunnymonster Messages 8,392 Location Little Feckwittering-on-the-Moor Monday August 16, 2010 #7 Well he'll get the Arsechers on R4 LW, 6Music not so much.

It needs to be used as part of a 'set' If my memory serves me well you'll need high impedance headphones, aerial, ground spike and variable capacitor for tuning it. Rev-O could use one for tuning into the "Light Programme" whilst camping
