My first was from Radio Canada International in winter 1973 (January),
heard on a - gulp - Radio Shack 10-in-1 electronics kit crystal radio!
Charles Gursky and Lynn Henderson doing their Sunday morning
Listener's Corner mailbag-style show. 20-foot wire antenna wrapped
around my bedroom, no ground at all.

FWIW, Deutsche Welle and another station whose identity is lost to me,
but may have been France (had an unusual harpsichord IS), also came in
with much power in my old Massachusetts home. Did not QSL those guys
until I got my Astronaut-8 and HQ-100 a year or so later, when I went
bananas.

The first station that I heard was Kol Israel but the first QSL that I received
was from RSA in 1977.

Good DX!

What was your first QSL ? Mine was HCJB Bonair. I think the year was 1975 or
1976.

73 and good DXing.
