Re: [IRCA] IRCA DX Monitor on DVD Wonderful!!!!
Reading about DX in the 1930s would be a blast indeed. Even the DX in the 1960s is a whole different world. I think the DXM DVD deserves a full page ad with details in an upcoming issue. I should post something about it on the IRCA Facebook page as well.

They really weren't as it took a couple of months to get my set. I wonder if the NRC has anything like this? Going back to the 30s, would be interesting.

>>> You're right. It doesn't seem to be listed. But you can contact Phil directly. But it is sure nice way to have the history on DVD. It is by volume and then after I clicked on a volume, then all of the issues for that volume comes up and a particular issue you can click on and the whole issue is there. The 60s and 70s are especially fun to read the zillions of f/c and DX tests. The loggings coast to coast. Fun stuff.

>>>>> I just got from Phil and the IRCA bookstore the DX Monitor on DVD. Wow! What a walk down memory lane. I had lost a lot of bulletins through the years with moves and all, plus I did not join the IRCA until 1968, so I missed out on the first 4 years. What a change in DXing through the years. As each year goes by, it is just a little slice of time, but when it all adds up and I go back to 1964, radio was in a different World. AM was it. FM was not popular and in many cases, few people listened to it. AM's supported the FM's. Chief Engineers were from the old school of knowing was a QSL was and the percentage of QSL's a DXer got back on their first try was nearly 100%. I know in the mid 60s, I rarely had to send out a follow up. Even when I did, the reply came through then, with rarely any hold outs. DX, Coast to Coast was the norm. I see Larry Godwin reporting WTIC, a easy catch from the West on Monday mornings..Ah, Monday Mornings...few DXers were not up all night or m

A very nice Christmas Gift for the DXer on your list you have no idea what to buy for. Thank you for all who had a part and getting this done for the club. So many names from the past. This made my day. Thank you Phil for all you have done and continue to do for our club. Again my prayers are with you, Sherry, and your family.
