One winters evening - Winter 1975 - Halifax, Nova Scotia

View fullsize

40 years ago during the Winter of 1975 I was a member of the IRCA and exchanging "DX Cassettes" with a couple of very successful DXers in North America. Before the days of the internet and e-mail, all we had were cassettes and snail mail and the occasional local phone call when DX was happening. This extremely rare live recording from Halifax, Canada features DXer and Ham, Michael Dunn during one of his busier evenings capturing armchair reception of European stations on the medium-wave dial. This recording is in stereo no less! Michael used an HQ180 with a random wire antenna. He was in one of the most ideal locations in North America for Transatlantic reception. To the best of my knowledge this is the only recording of its kind from the mid-70's! Enjoy.
