 Vintage Lo-Fi Longwave |

| “ | Guaranteed manufactured with a minimum of 7 Leopards! You'll need each of them, too, given that you've clearly devoted more time to memorizing a dictionary than anything that even looks like contracting a pectoral muscle.
— Saxton Hale on knowledge-testing headwear

The Lo-Fi Longwave is a headwear item, wearable by all classes. It is an off-white hardhat with a miniature radio tower mounted on top and the KritzKast logo printed on the front.
The hat was first awarded in Vintage quality to a limited but unspecified number of players for being a member of the KritzKast Steam Group prior to 7pm (GMT+1) June 12th 2011, 1 hour before the live recording of podcast episode #121. Before a hat is awarded the members must obtain a passing score on the KritzKast quiz. Players who do not win on the quiz are allowed to retake it as often as they wish so long as they leave four hours between attempts. Those who were not part of the KritzKast steam group before the deadline received a message from Saxton Hale stating they are "manly enough not to receive" the "girly" hat.
The 30 winners of the Lo-Fi Longwave Owners Group "Meet the Robin" event were also awarded Vintage hats. Those who were already in possession of Vintage were awarded a Unique version of the hat instead.
Players were able to submit questions before August 31, 2011 for a Kritzkast interview with the creator of NerfNow. The questions used in the interview had the player quoted and granted a Vintage Lo-Fi Longwave.[1]
Since episode #129 a Vintage hat has been given to each "Player of the Week", assuming they did not already have one. This policy has been retroactively enforced.
On April 2nd 2012, KritzKast host Agro gave an Unique Lo-Fi Longwave to 7 Facepunch members after they complained about the ex Lo-Fi Longwave owner Jampes crafting his own one. [2]

Update history
- [Undocumented] The Lo-Fi Longwave was added to the game.
- Updated the Lo-Fi Longwave to be paintable.

Trivia
- Lo-Fi, or Template:W, is a term which describes an audio recording with technical flaws, such as distortion, hum, or background noise.
- In radio terminology, Template:W refers to parts of radio spectrum with relatively long wavelengths.
- The hat's description is a tagline for Template:W.
- According to KritzKast episode 121, the radio tower was mounted directly to the classes' heads during the hat's development. It was modified by Valve to use the same hardhat as the Aperture Labs Hard Hat.
- KritzKast episode 122 elaborated to say that the radio tower was mounted into the classes' heads with concrete blocks.
