Perhaps world peace might be a higher priority for some , but a minor tragedy occurred in our home morning.
For a little background, we have a Lecson pre/amp/tuner in our bedroom. We also live in an RF sinkhole, which makes AM, FM, and cellphone reception always a challenge. We live ”under the pattern” near some mountains, and the locals aren’t fond of cell towers.
The Lecson tuner actually works well here, and I have a favorite FM station I like to listen to each morning. Reception can drift on mornings when the local “marine layer” of clouds comes into our valley. Today was one of those days, which ultimately upset the entire FM balance and domestic harmony here.
Most mornings I make the bed while my wife goes out running while listening to the Lecson/Gale combination. There was no signal from my normal station, so I slightly moved the tuning wheel while the signal strength meter peaked.
Assuming it was my favorite station (an ad was playing) I got on with making the bed. Mind you Los Angeles has roughly 60 radio stations, so the dial can be a little crowded.
Sadly, it was not my favorite station, but an FM station 80 miles away.
Playing a Wham! medley, with some ever-so-clever DJ playing Wake Me Up Before You Go Go.
Ugh. A cruel punishment for myself, the speaker cones, and a general offense to the power company for wasting their time and efforts.
All of which could have been avoided with a DR1 display.
When I was in my 20s and lived in So. FL, there was no such thing as FM rock. A little station in Mt. Dora iirc, started doing album rock. Many of us put up an outdoor FM antenna and got pretty good reception. Is it possible you might be able to do that where you are.......without upsetting the local cattle?

Surprisingly vibrant for products that haven’t changed in 40 years.
All the Gale recordings are on the site to listen to now, we found the first turntable prototype, have our first member from Russia, and working on the turntable schematic…. Even have a professional GS401A poster.
The prices on the Lecson kit have gone through the roof in the last year. Tuners go for around $2,000 now. And a AP1/AP3/Tuner set around $4,000. Some guy even had a new in box set recently.
Still have yours?
Hope all is well at your end of the pipeline. One of these days I’d love to come and visit. Or vice versa.

Her legs are exceptional. Thanks for asking.
It’s not so much the loudness but more of an incompatibility. Think Soft Machine versus Motown.
