\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Over the past two years, I’ve enjoyed the Amazon.com series, “The Man In The High Castle<\/a>“–a dystopian TV series which explores a world where WWII ended with a very different outcome. \u00a0This series is based on a 1962 book by\u00a0Philip K. Dick<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a promotion, Amazon recently created a virtual radio called “Resistance Radio<\/a>” where the listener\u00a0can pretend to be\u00a0a part of this dystopia and tune in pirate broadcasts from the resistance movement.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It’s a fun virtual radio and the creators took some care in making it feel authentic. It’s reminiscent of a 1960s era Grundig or Telefunken.<\/p>\n

The tuning knob, volume and memory push buttons all work. If you turn the receiver off for a while, it takes a few seconds for the audio to increase as the tubes warm up. It even has a red tuning indicator lamp. Between stations you’ll hear static, though it sounds a bit manufactured to us radio enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

And, oh yeah, you’ll\u00a0even numbers stations and Morse Code as you tune across the band.<\/p>\n

Obviously, someone behind the virtual radio is a proper radio geek.<\/p>\n

Someone needs to make a web-based virtual radio interface like this for\u00a0TuneIn<\/a> radio.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, David Cripe (NM0S) notes, “Utterly fascinating. If you access it on your cell phone, the interface is a pocket transistor radio!”<\/p>\n
