MY DX'INGA HISTORICAL ARCHIVE
RADIO STATION PICTURESAll pictures are black and white, which actually is fortunate, because the colour prints of those days would not have preserved their colours well. Due to modest photographic equipment, lack of skill and small size prints the quality of these old photos is indeed unpretentious, but this DX page has no profound purpose. SPAIN, GIBRALTAR & PORTUGAL, Sept.–Oct. 1970 During two weeks I and six of my DX friends toured the south western part of the Iberian peninsula and northern Morocco in two cars. Gibraltar had to be entered by air via Tangier. Most of the time was spent visiting radio stations, in the below order.

Before the introduction of the DX QSL card, many radio stations in the USA, as well as some in Canada, Mexico and Cuba, sent Verified Reception Stamps in answer to listeners' reports. They were invented in 1924 by EKKO Company of Chicago, who sold them to broadcast radio stations, of which some 700 participated. Their use ended in the 1930s. The US stamps are nicely engraved and recess printed, the Candian ones lithographed. Larger image. Link to source. |
