What was your first radio?

I seem to recall that mine was a rocket shaped crystal set
that I had back in the 1960's.

Anyone else remember those things?

DX ACE,

My "First Radio" that I bought and paid for myself was a
Hitachi TH-812.

Back then in the early 1960s I managed to receive "WBZ" in
Boston, using this Hitachi TH-812 (TRF AM/MW Portable Radio)
with an outboard 'inductively coupled' Tunable Ferrite Rod
Antenna Feed by a 65 Foot Random Wire Antenna.

NOTE: This took me Two Winter Seasons to Log this DX Catch.
