> About six months ago I found this box in my parents’ garage. Let me take you back…it was 1985 and I had just got my driver’s licence. My parents bought me a Ford Laser. There was no way I was going to listen to the Stereo Rock of the 80s on 2SM in mono. I loved this radio. When I sold the car in 1988 2SM was no longer smashing out the Hot Hits and I had thus moved to FM. When I sold the car I left the AM stereo radio in it. Something I would never had done if AM was still catering for a younger audience.

Blimey that’s impressive! In 1985 my first car was an XD Falcon with AM only radio! I listened to FM104 at home and in the car it was Stereo 10 (in non-stereo AM).
