OK. My turn... 2 Seminal moments in radio hobby... maybe 3.
Nov 3, 1973 - Bought DX150B from Radio Shack Store after owning a few old radios... even a 6-Tube RCA from the late 30's early 40's October 1974 - received 1st copy of World Radio TV Handbook April 1975 - received first sample copy of CIDX Magazine and IRCA sample a few months later. Discovering that there was another local DXer and MW guy living nearby and picking up the phone to introduce myself would change everything.... That was Nick Hall-Patch. One does not move forward within the radio hobby inside a vacuum. Meeting other dxers and the hobby community itself IS the backbone of the entire experience.
