Something I was thinking about earlier...

I did lots of DXing (MW and SW) in the seventies with some, I thought,
pretty good antennas - I did not hear half as much stuff then as I do now.

And yes, I was using a DX150B (slightly Hall-Patched) with some
300 foot LW and random wire antennas -- and a small passive loop.

So - have things improved or is it all the sophisticated receivers
and antennas that I am using now?
Or maybe I am just listening more...

In fact, when I was a teenager, it took ONE GREAT BIG EFFORT
to get me out of bed prior to sunrise. I mean, it was just not done.

What's your story?  ;-)
