Sandy,

Who are you referring to as old guy???

Actually, Donny's Philco was extremely impressive with it's reception! It has a pretty hefty shortwave antenna inside considering the size of the set. It was pulling in stations all over the place! I was really surprised! The electronic presets work pretty good too.

If he were to hook up that outside wire, he'd probably be able to monitor those two robots' progress we have on Mars!!!

Donny, glad it all worked out. Watch out for those "numbers" stations on shortwave... they're pretty creepy at night!
