Crikey, I used to do this with my one transistor set built to a Practical Wireless design (my first go with a soldering iron). I can even recall some of the book titles. I used to enjoy 'Listening Post' too, and through the financial report I'd got a pretty good idea of good stock market performers - I was still in short trousers! The set wasn't very selective and I could hear R2 programmes that took over R1 on 247m faintly in the background!
