I know this is not relevant to N.E. radio, but just to follow in 
Larry's footsteps;

I have two tiny black transistor radios (about the size of a beeper)
that I got from Bloomberg News Radio/1130 here in NYC.

They are crystal- locked to WBBR's frequency and have the station's
logo stamped on it. Apparently, WBBR has been mailing these tiny 
radios out by the thousands to listeners here in the NYC metro 
area. 

I suppose they'll be collectable novelties some day *shrug*

Hey Larry, trade you one of my Bloomberg radios for one of
your WEEI sets? *joking*  (maybe) :)
