New member and new (to me) 37-9
#9

I keep picking up an AM station from Spokane that plays hard rock/classic rock around 780 KC, I think it's simulcasting the programing from an FM station as they keep calling it 98.4 "The Bear". There is a station in the Seattle area called KIXI that plays popular favorites, as well as old time radio, at 880 KC, however there is a new and traffic station in Edmonton, Alberta broadcasting on the same frequency so one may jam the other, depending on conditions and location. If you want to listen to your own programing on an old radio you can get a low powered AM transmitter kit, one of the popular ones is called an SSTRAN, but there are also kits for what they used to call "Phonograph Modulators", no adding jacks or filling vintage cabinets with China junk, plus it works with every old radio in the house. I can't remember what the 37-9 has as a chassis, but I think it had a pretty good power output stage (audio amp) in it, a tuned RF amplifier stage, not to mention separate oscillator and mixer tubes, as well as automatic frequency control believe it or not, it's actually a decent performing radio that would allow you to pick up far away stations on AM broadcast, as well as shortwave.
