Listening to Logitech S-120's. (P/N 880-000065) right now, quieter than anything I've ever used. No wallwart, 100mA draw, too. Good luck.

Re: Retread
Someone at Amazon.com mentioned for $10 more than the SRF59 there was a Sony model that had digital tuning. Anyone know which model that might be?
Also I'd like to go to sleep with the radio at night

Finally, a new station to add to my log....#262 - WOKY Milwaukee.
Hey everyone!
I listen to the BCB everyday and night at some point, but I haven't logged anything new in awhile, so I was happy to log something new for the first time in several weeks.
Around 0655

Thanks for the welcome. DXing is going to be a bit of challenge here. I have 19 local AM broadcast stations within a 20 mile radius of me! I don't believe any of them are required to observe
