   Yeah - we couldn't use them over the hills very well, but if one of   
   us was ON a hill we could really reach out! :-)

   LOL - such is the case with 'child technology,' eh? :-)   
      
   Remember the little morse code generators? Well, a button that would   
   generate a tone and the morse code alphabet was listed on a sticker   
   on the unit most of the time.   
      
   Never had one with an AM radio, but I did have a little AM radio   
   'backpack' for my Six Million Dollar Man action figure! That was   
   cool!
