Here's one schematic. Not sure if the Nakashuma models were like this. The first transistor is also the detector, and perhaps a preamp, connected to a variable resistor/potentiometer that controlled the volume. https://www.electroschematics.com/2-transistor-radio-receiver/ https://www.electroschemat...

Google "Nakashuma". It was actually a real brand. I thought Allan Sherman made it up. They have pictures of the Mark 2 and Mark 3, and one picture has the leatherette case with holes in it. No Mark 4 though, the one he said he got. Most of the Nakashuma pictures show radios that look like they're tu...

I suspect that the two transistor radios were TRF, not superheterodyne. So they didn't need an oscillator, mixer, IF stages with amplification and transformers, just a tuned circuit and a diode. Just maybe an RF Amplifier transistor to bring up the signal level of the ferrite loopstick (some had tel...

At 1349 feet, the WCML tower is now the tallest in Michigan. The WEYI tower was once 1359 feet, but the antenna had more bays to get at one point 4,080,000 watts ERP analog, which was reduced to 2,040,000 watts before going digital only with much less ERP, and only needed a shorter antenna aperture,...

I had some friends who lived in a vacant commercial property near the Physics Building. It was just walled off from the rest of the property with temporary movable barriers. I don't remember where they went for a bathroom or shower. It just had the commercial grade florescent lighting from when the ...

Bigger and better than a lot of apartments in New York City, and a whole lot cheaper.

Probably a lot of students at UM and MSU aren't living much better.

Don't know if this was posted here yet.

The truth should come out about all the Kennedy murders and suspicious deaths, as well as other people. Many alphabet departments need to be reformed. There is some hope. A Physicist/Physician just came out with a book after many years of research that refutes the SBT soundly. This is diametrically ...

These are for sale on Amazon. Buy one and take it to wake up in your hotel. They're really loud according to the description. Sha la la.

I mentioned three other methods besides time signals. Most people use their cell phones for alarm clocks in hotels. They can also use a wake up call. You could also bring a small alarm clock and or portable radio with an alarm feature. A small one can easily be packed.

Other sources besides WWVB that are within a small fraction of a second.

WWV on 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 MHz.
CHU on 3.33, 7.85, and 14.67 MHz.
Clocks on your computer.
Clocks on OnStar and similar services, on car radios.
Cell phones.

Anyone remember this? It was played on more modern (not the Sinatra, etc. dominated ones) Adult Contemporary Stations in Michigan back in 1970, even though not on any remaining local charts from Michigan on ARSA. Teacher singer Miss Abrams and her third grade class from California. Drove the acid me...

My bingo card has USC, Yale, Harvard and Columbia… if this business at Columbia were widespread like that chart claims any and all local news outlets would have cameras there like flies on shit. While not quite as expansive as Al Jazeera's map, the Associated Press (AP)'s Bingo Card is up to 35. ht...

No concrete reason was ever given to my knowledge.

Tony has a well maintained FB page but never discussed it there, either. I suspect he is bound by an NDA.

Perhaps something just like Laurie DeYoung said about him circa 1980?
