I found out that WGMS, my favorite radio station from the Washington D.C. area, no longer exists. WETA 90.9 FM is now a very acceptable substitute, as is WAMU 88.5, both part of the NPR network.
I am now able to listen to radio stations from my childhood, long before transistors, or the Internet for those who do not recognize the word "transistor". The radio was the only one in the small town where I lived and we would listen in the evenings. It was a battery powered luggable box. The battery came in a separate box an was as big and heavy as a modern day car battery.
Trivia:
The first radio station in El Salvador, YSSS Radio El Salvador 96.9FM, started in March 1st 1926, first broadcast station in Central America, fourth in Latin America and sixth worldwide.
Bet you didn't know that!
