Listening to the radio

Listening to the radio
Me, I mean: *I* was listening to the radio. But the cat was

interested in hanging about. This was last weekend. Just today we got

a new hardwood floor down in this room.



This was 2007-expired Konica VX200 Super in the Olympus XA.

Yes, this is a radio that receives regular analogue radio plus DRM and DAB stuff. There is no local digital radio here yet but I had an outdoor wire aerial attached to help receive DRM from overseas. I (occasionally) hear DRM from Romania, India, France, Nigeria, and Korea. I am way beyond their normal ranges, so it's a fairly unexpected treat to get that whenit comes in. But this set is also a good analogue shortwave radio, so I use it for non-digital shortwave broadcasts, too. All our television is now digital -- they closed down the older analogue tv stations about five years ago.

(This radio has several very annoying quirks; one is that it is permanently set for the European medium-wave band which is not the same as North American medium wave band; although they cover the same range, the chosen spots for stations are different. So I can pick up European stations some nights, but not my own local ones during the day!)

In its time it was. But it was discontinued by the manufacturer six or seven years ago and I bought this one last year for under a hundred Euros. That was a real bargain, I think!
