As a teen, I listened to the DX Partyline every week, twice a week. I remember writing them a letter, and I heard it read on the air...I was so excited! LOL! Ahhhh, the good ol' days!

[johninjersey]

Yes, it sure was fun wasn't it ? Shortwave isn't the same today, sadly. :(

@Lars2121 Me, too! The show was on 3 times a week in the 70's.

Shortwave listening was indeed magic in the 70s and early 80s. The thought of listening to news events in real time before all cable news channels was truly an experience. 73 everyone! AI4QT

These folks were really special. I listened to them every week, particularly enjoyed their equipment reviews. Thanks for posting this.

I caught this on cassette for posterity and miss the early days of my hobby.

Me too. I miss the magic of my early days in shortwave, circa 1968. It was magical.
