Gotta love those Dutch!!  These were the same people who, in two weeks,
cobbled together a radio station (Herrijzend Nederland or Holland
Resurrects) from spare parts scurried away in the Philips factory attics
after the German occupation!! :)

But seriously, Radio Netherlands does show an incredible commitment to
AM/Shortwave.  The fact that it's the only radio website I've seen that
has an authoritative review on receivers says a lot!
