Re: Childhood memories of radios.
I remember that Morse signal. Is that what it was? It always seemed to be there, always the same, not (apparently, now I know what this is) a numbers station.

Re: Childhood memories of radios.
There was also another 'thing' often heard on shortwave in the 60s and 70s which was a continuous rasping note interrupted periodically and regularly with three dashes.
Must admit, I was always fascinated by the various breedle-breedles, warbles, burps and squeaks to be heard tuning around on HF. My favourites were the warbling multi-tone Piccolo/Coquelet RTTY links. |
