  1. I enjoyed your description of the elevated park in NY. I wonder if anyone's been QRV from there?

  2. Just heard the part from Electric Radio on AM selectivity. Is the author working up to synchronous detection? It's been a feature of better communications receivers ever since the Sony ICF-2010. Nice article about this from QEX is online here:
