I started DXing in 1961 back in the gold old days of 1A clear channel stations.
In 1963 I happen to record these five stations signing off on a Monday morning. In those days it was pretty routine for the big 50KW stations to do transmitter maintenance on Monday mornings. Those hours were a great opportunity for DXers like me to try to snag some rare stations that could not normally be heard.
The five stations on these recordings which I've posted are KDKA Pittsburgh, WBZ Boston, WABC New York,
WNBC New York and WLS Chicago. All recordings were made from the Chicago area on the AM tuner of a Zenith Trans Oceanic with the wavemagnet antenna in the radio.
