I beg to differ, grasshopper.  I built a TRF in junior high school, the
Philco and Atwater-Kent radios were TRFs for a while, and even old
grandpop built them when he was working for Lee DeForest - out of
triode valves he built himself, yessindeed.

Half a century, maybe.  This isn't 2030 yet, not by a long row of trees.
