Wow, cool idea, John. I am enjoying reading the suggestions that all of the "pros" are providing.
Sadly, I have nothing to provide, as it seems the rest of my life gets in the way, making it difficult to listen much these days. I miss those carefree teenage days in the '70s and '80s when I had no worries and lots of time to DX. Also, it makes me very sad to see the fading away of the entire "shortwave experience", i.e., dreaming of distant lands/people, the analog/digital radios, the antennas, the stations, the shows, the announcers, propagation, QRM/N, QSLs, pulling in a rare DX catch, WRTH, Passport, receiving an actual paper club newsletter, etc. Today's youth have no idea of the hobby's fascinating pull it had on us. Did it seem like the world was a much bigger place back then? Or, am I just jaded because I've been fortunate to now actually travel to those once distant lands. Or, perhaps the internet and other technological advances have made the world seem smaller these days. Pardon me if this hijacks the thread a bit, but I would like to know what each of you think was the "golden age" of international SWL/DXing. You can use a range of exact years, or a general decade range. Thanks very much.
