Fifty years ago the S40B was not ancient. Now I am ancient but I remember
as a teenager carefully tuning the SX-25 and finally hearing the weak beeps.
It was thrilling then and I still get nervous when I finally hear a NEW ONE.
What fun!

Fifty years ago this week, a fourteen year old shortwave listener tuned his
ancient Hallicrafters S40B to 20.005 Megacycles and was able to hear a weak,
scratchy beeb-beeb-bee from Sputnik I.
What is Dx? To a 14 year old kid that was REAL DX.
To those of you that have been around awhile...hasn't it been fun?
