when I was first discovering radio in the early 1960's, a favourite pasttime for me was to listen to the ship-to-shore calls. They were handled by an operator and were generally to/from tugboats and cargo ships, to relatives on shore. This on my parents "stereo", which both received AM, AND played 78s, 45s, and LPs
this was on AM 1630. It might have been my first QSL; I know I knew then that the content of the calls was protected to I included the details sopken by the ship-to-shore operator, over a period of (say) 15 minutes. Got a QSL finally with a prepared card ef Vancouver BC, then & now too On 23 April 2010 19:00, Stan <[email protected]> wrote: > I was noticing the other day, my 1948 Firestone radio I keep in the > workshop goes up to 1700kc.
