Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 3493805, member: 93"] I know that Hudson Valley station; my friend who lives in Litchfield listens to it, especially when he's working in Sharon and that area, and we listen to it when driving from his house to ski at Catamount. My siblings were mostly into WPLR, I-95 and WPLJ, as well as the then-new "The Apple," for which I can't remember the call letters. I listened to all that and everything else I could hear. AM was actually pretty great and varied in those days, too, and that's what was usually on in the kitchen or in the car on family trips. I started collecting thrown-away radios on "junk day" when I was around eight years old, and I used to take them apart and try to create a super-antenna to draw in far-away stations and hear different stuff. I remember spending literally night after night in my room, stretching out wire, hangers or whatever else I could connect to the antenna, and going up and down the dial listening for sounds I had never heard before, including foreign languages and spoken word. I don't recall them or me knowing of Meg in those days, although I sure wish I did. I don't know her personally, but she's as close as I have found to a musical soulmate in terms of disc jockeys. I'm still trying to recover from the Loft going off the air and her daily show with it. [/QUOTE]
