[Excerpted from journal] "...Found a cool looking old radio in the woods on a walk. It was in surprisingly good shape for being out there for a while. Definitely broken though."4/15/2025
[Excerpted from journal] "...thinking about cleaning up that old radio because it's just been rusting in the living room."5/2/2025
[Excerpted from journal] "Really weird thing happened today in the afternoon when I was sitting in the living room, I started hearing crackling from the old radio. I assumed it was broken but I guess more waterproof than I thought! Also didn't plug it into power or anything so I guess its batteries still work? ... Going to try to clean it off and get more sound from it than just static."5/4/2025
[Excerpted from journal] "I spent a couple hours cleaning off the radio, it looks nice and shiny now but doesn't respond to me touching the dials or buttons. I thought static was a fluke but then a little while after cleaning it I heard more static while I was in the kitchen. Need to keep an ear out for it."5/5/2025
NOTE: began documenting any noise I heard from the Radio in a special notebook. All following notes are from that notebook unless otherwise specified.
4pm or so: static5/7/2025
8am: definitely hearing snippets of music. sounds upbeat but only half seconds at a time5/8/2025
2:15pm: "PSA:" something?5/10/2025
Something that sounded like a news clip, reporter-y sounding voice. Couple of repetitions of the phrase E.C.O. Can't find any results that make sense for that on internet. Noting that signal is strongest when in direct sunlight, even though I don't see any solar panels or anything on it. Also when temps are warmer...? Thermoelectric??5/10/2025
Also, thinking about trying to get inside this thing. I can pry the top open a little to see there's no disc in there but am too scared to open any more. If I break it think about all the stuff I could miss?
