On a (slightly) related topic, I recall a leaflet sent out years agio by HCJB in Quito, Ecuador in which it said that, before the days of cheap transistor radios, the station gave people sets 'fix-tuned to HCJB' in order that they could listen to the broadcasts. I don't suppose any of those ever turned up in Britain or Europe, but it would be interesting to see one, or at leat know what circuit was used. They were presumably AM (MW)only, and, as HCJB most likely only had one MW channel, tuned to that freq. by pre-set caps. & coils. Due to the use of 10kHz channel spacing in the Americas, adjustment would be needed for use here, though!
