So it lasted about 100 years - not bad going for any type of technology! This is almost certainly the last time I will ever be able to record the coming of the New Year on longwave which is a huge shame, so it was fitting to do so for the last time with my crystal radio set attached to a random wire antenna.

Thanks for watching and 73.
