thats right, everyone was too busy making charts to figure out where
frequencies were on their dial

if you knew anything about the history of DX'ing you would know
frequency readout WAS a big issue. many articles were written on how
to figure out where you were on your radio dial.

I wouldn't waste my time MW DXing on anything less than an RF-2200


It is hard. Counting up or down in 10 kHz steps from a known station!
After the death of Einstein back in the fifties, lesser scientists had to
scramble to develop the digital readout. Even radios which supposedly had
well marked frequency divisions would only mark every 20 kHz on half the
dial! 20 kHz!! How could anybody ever figure where 1210 kHz was supposed
to be? Figuring that out is even harder to figure out than a killfile!!!
