Apologies to those who know about this stuff, if this is a stupid
question. Seeing the electronics thread reminded me of some of my
mis-spent youth. I never knew enough about electronics to design
anything, but I could usually get something like an amp or a tape
recorder from the tip, and fix it. That was about my limit. I used to
enjoy making crystal radios from some of the bits I'd have lying around,
but no matter what I used, I only ever seemed to be able to pick up what
seemed to be radio 4. If you were to build one nowadays, would there be
any suitable non-digital station left to pick up?
