Please folks, tell us about what radio got you into DX-ing. I.e.
which radio was the first "fix". The one that made you pursue DX-ing?


The first radio that got me into DX'ing belonged to a friend of mine.
It was a 1930's Westinghouse tombstone design (wood cabinet) 3 band
with a huge electro-dynamic speaker (electro-magnet). Spent many
afternoons listening to BBC, Radio Moscow and the like.

My first receiver was a Radio Shack DX-150A which I still have and it
still works.
