[pct-l] RE: MP3 info
John,
On my AT thruhikes I would have gone crazy without my am/fm radio.
The single AAA battery lasted for several days of hiking. I used the
AM band quite a bit on the ridgetops.
I was listening to NPR along a beautiful ridgeline in Virginia when
the first reports of Sept 11, 2001 began to hit the media. I haven't
decided if this was a good or a bad thing.
A few guys were carrying MP3 compatible CD players. This allowed
changing music without a computer. Also, friends could send updated
disks. Personally, I am a weight-weenie and wouldn't want the extra
stuff.
Some hikers scoff at any 'technology' (read: silicon based toys) on
the trail. Personally, I don't care as long as you 'keep it to
yourself.' Remember...HYOH
cheers,
terry
