I'm assuming you mean shortwave radio. No, not necessarily. My first was a Sears ComTrek IX - it actually belonged to my dad but I sort of "took it over" once I discovered the SW bands on it. It had a flip down door where a little logbook could be kept, and among the various AM and VHF logs was a sole entry for Radio RSA South Africa. That was enough to pique my interest at 10 yrs of age. The first "real" SW radio of my own was the Realistic DX-160 I received for Christmas one year (c. 1978 or so). |
