Well Mal I think a lot of us would like to turn the clock back a long way because in those days Radio was King.

Have Key will travel. Read a bit about the itinerant Telegraphers in the US between the wars. He had his (racer)key in a baize lined oak box and could set up anywhere to earn a living... those were the days.

 

Now we all have the mobile phones and no jobs......

Pete

I am sure Mexico radio stns were within range after dark but I listened to the Honolulu stns.

In those days I was a Globe Trotter seeking rare DX locations. I took advantage of facilities available at the various locations.to operate amateur radio. I used Aircraft, Ships and Fixed transmitters besides having my own portable equipment when possible to carry with me.

I had a certain amount of Influence to achieve my objectives !!

Hi Mal

 

Very intersting

 

Did you hear any of the Border Blaster X stations out of Mexico, quarter megawatt plus AM MW Broadcasters with massive antennas haloed with a corona that could be seen right across the border into Texas, pumping out Jazz, Rythm n Blues and Rock n Roll to the Pacific GIs, Wolfman Jack et al? Think they did more for the Ionosphere than the H-Bomb. They reckon they made it out to Hawaii at night. Amazing range which upset the US gov.
