Yep those where the days:

Brings back Fond Memories for me, and my Old Eddystone.
As a Dxer from pre 1952 and still going strong, (now 70 years old) it brought back two names the late August Balbey (Migt not be spelt right), also Arthur Chushin.
Dxers we will never see the likes of Again

What a wonderful batch of memories. Thanks so much.
I was 12, waking in the middle of the night, putting on the headphones and finally understanding he just said “All India Radio” ! Great times.

The “DXkid” image is a picture of me when I was a kid. It was apparently scrapped from my web site. I was a “Novice” licensed amateur radio operator, not just listening to DX but working other DX amateurs around the world. 73. WD5EAE

I started listening to SW when I was 12, back in 1971. Listening to all these old (and some still used) internal signals is quite a treat. Thanks for making this available.
