Anyone else have Sputnik radios?
I think it would be really cool to get a Soviet short wave radio from that era. It is pretty well documented that the July/August/September 1957 issues of "Radio" magazine (for ham radio hobbyists in the USSR) had information on the upcoming launch and gave the frequencies to monitor the telemetry (around 20 Mc/s). They successfully kept that information from the Americans by publishing the magazines in Russian instead of English.
