MW DX Recordings from the Past

During the early 70's I actively pursued mediumwave DXing from Lansing, Michigan. Below is a list of brief recordings of sign/ons, sign/offs, equipment tests and frequency checks from U.S. radio stations from that era.

Nearly all of the cuts were made on a Halllicrafters SX-96 receiver with either an outside Murch 86-D dipole or Worcester ferrite bar loop antenna.

A bit about the recordings. I have only just transferred these from 35 year old reel-to-reel tapes recorded at 1 7/8ths ips. I've done my best to clean them up but they are not 'studio quality' -- DX rarely is. The sounds are encoded in mp3 format.

You can sort the list below by callsign, frequency, state or date just by clicking on the column heading. Click again to sort in reverse order. Dates are in 'yyyy-mm-dd' format and anything that has a 'dd' of '01' is probably not correct. I used '01' as a default day for those cases where I only had a year and month in my log.
