Russ,
I started with BCB as a kid. Probably about 10 or 11. Our next door
neighbor was carrying a LARGE old wooden Philco radio from the 40's out
to the curb to throw away. It seems that where they had it stored in
the attic of a house they were renting, someone had stolen all the tubes
out it. He gave it to me and I sat down with a tube substitution book
and my Dad's box of tubes and was able get it running again. I think I
learned to solder replacing a couple of old caps that had dried out.
Still have it.

How many here either started out DX'ing SW or have done so along with BCB over
the years ?
I started with BCB as a child, and dabbled in SW in my late teens and early
twenties, then went back to BCB because to me at the time it was too easy to
log multiple countries in a fairly short period of time as compared to BCB.
