To quote Colin Clive in the original Frankenstein " It's alive ! Alive!" She's up and running. Beautiful sound. At night the dial is filled in every spot with far away stations. Day time, all the locals come in. Just one weird glitch. Tuning from the bottom up every station comes in. Tuning from the top down, no stations at all, dead silence. When I get to the bottom (550) and tune back up again every station pops in. Whats up?
