Today, as many times before, I put on the seat belt for a ride to get chicken thighs for lunch, and as usual listened to the AMT5000 pumping out Free Talk Live with hosts Ian and Mark.

Today, as many times before, I put on the seat belt for a ride to get chicken thighs for lunch, and as usual listened to the AMT5000 pumping out Free Talk Live with hosts Ian and Mark.

As expected, the strongest part of the signal made it about halfway up the next block, keeping in mind that it is a very long block and I only have a Wintenna (windowframe antenna with added wire), and then the signal started going down into the noise. But, as is often the case at 11 in the morning, I could hear traces of the signal on the main street at the far end of the block, and those patchy traces come and go on the 3-mile drive.

In the parking lot at the store I kept the radio on for a minute because 1680 was unusually noise free and I could hear voices way in the background. I turned up the volume and was astounded that I was hearing Ian and Mark continuing to take phone calls!

Highly impressed by the performance of the AMT5000 I ordered double chicken thighs.
