I reckon you'd get 6RTH as well.

Possibly. Pretend it's the latest Nokia

The archivists (who I work with) would probably be more interested in a radio than a new mobile - the older the better

I used to service some microfilm gear up there in the belfry. I don't remember anyone specifically but I remember I liked visiting, which means the people were nice, because the gear was cr@p Possibly the same vintage as the radios they like.
