SWL’ing 1957

Sixty years ago this month, the cover of the February 1957 issue of Popular Electronics showed this avid SWL tuning the foreign shortwave bands with her Hammarlund HQ-110 receiver.

She was able to tune in numerous English-language programs thanks to the extensive listing of broadcasts contained in the magazine.  Among the selections was Radio Moscow as shown in the photo below of these comrades working the console.
