Radio Hobby

    Amazingly, I think I know where my interest in wireless began.

    This photo shows a blue crystal radio set that I received as a 5th year birthday present.  It is a blue item with a dark circular dial, it is in the yellow box on the left hand side of the table.  I remember listening to it for hours at a time.  It only received one local station ABC's 100Kw 2NR, then broadcasting at 700KHz.

sorry this pic may take a while to load

(thanks mum for saving my birthday cards for all those years, I still have them)
