Default Re: Childhood memories of radios.

The very first radio I remember was a Bush...either a DAC90 or DAC90A. I would only have been a few years old and my mother would tune in to 'Listen With Mother'. I also vaguely remember a favourite program of hers.....'Andy McFerson at the Organ'. In the early 60's right through to the 70's we had a Ferguson 383A with FM. My brother put a VHF aerial up and also fitted a record socket to the radio so that we could record 'Pick of the Pops' with Alan Freeman. That was our main set for many years and gave sterling service. We also used to receive good signals from the two main 'pirate' stations Radio Caroline and Radio London on that set.
