those are cool I didn't know they were all different types of radios but they're cool like the low cal one
I liked this one a lot, it wasn't too easy, but it wasn't too hard, just right! Good job!
Fun stuff! Although, what's pirate radio?
Pirate Radio is where someone is broadcasting a radio station without a valid broadcasting licence. In the Uk the most famous Pirate Radio was Radio Caroline which broadcast from a ship to the UK. It later became BBC Radio 1.
That's pretty cool, thanks for the "411!"
Nice one Ix it's going on my faves
Radio Caroline brings back some memmories.
Do you remember Atlantic 558 as well?

You've added a smile to my day, but I've never heard of Pirate Radio. What is it?
Just saw your answer to Rowsdower. Thanks for the explanation.
Glad I tuned in to do this one!
Pretty cool. Got most of them but couldn't get digital. Oh , well, pretty good way to start the year. Happy New year to all of you.
This was a good teaser for New Year's Day. I got them with the hints, so to me they were hard, but not too hard. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
Totally Awesome, today! This brings back memories of playing with different frequencies with the friends! Keep up the terrific teasing!
Nice! I didn't know that about Pirate radio...first new trivia fact for me this year! Keep 'em coming!

Great teaser. I add for your consideration: Crystal Radio.As a kid in the 30s and 40s we used a Crystal Radio and ear phone to listen to local broadcasts.
good start to 2007 but, same as 2006, I didn't get them all. Fun!
very cute and clever
good one!
ummm what the heck??
Not bad!

Wow, half right, but what fun Brought a smile to my face! Txs
What fun. I can remember when the whole family sat around and watched the radio - why I don't know - it wasn't going anywhere. No pun intended! Neat teaser.
All digits should include toes too. Also, low calorie is different from low fat. Too nitpicky? Great teaser.
#*!#*@!%&
Happy New Year to Everyone including the people that dislike and or hate me.

I love it! Good one!
Just as much fun this year. Happy New Year to all.
Couldn't the Digital one also be Hand Radio? Like a walkie talkie? Great teaser! (Easy for the radio operator though, lol)
Man, I sucked at that. I only got Pirate and Digital, but I needed the hint for digital. Awesome teaser. Also, I was THIS CLOSE to getting long wave and short wave.
NICE1!!!
This teaser was FANTASTIC!

That was fun. Gave me a smile.
Not bad, some were a stretch.
Happy new year!

Had to think a bit, got a few (4) totally missed 2 and for #3 I had multiband radio. I was looking at my old Philco radio with it's 4 bands at the time. Liked LoCal though. FUN!
good job
That was fun! I missed 5 & 6. Never heard of Pirate Radio (though the term does make sense as you explained it) and my brain couldn't come up with low-cal (that one put a big grin on my face!)
I thought Lite Radio. Rather than local.
I only got three out of seven and was close on a couple of others. I have tried this teaser twice and did poorly. I feel like I should have done better but just could not figure the others out.
