One hundred years ago, the young woman shown here is obviously an experienced broadcast listener. But she had to start somewhere, and at some point, she probably asked the question, “what can I get?”

A discussion of that question appeared in the January 1926 issue of Radio In The Home, and this listener’s picture graces that article. It covered a number of issues, such as selection of the set, and the importance of a good antenna and ground. But it concludes by noting that the most important factor in DX reception was the “dial touch.” This listener is clearly demonstrating that, and the article notes that every night, the answers to “what will I get” will become more and more numerous.
