My DX Archive: February 1992

EVERY month, here on Reporting From The Fox Tower, I bring you a log of broadcasts heard on Short Wave or Medium Wave. This post is different. I'm taking you back to the very beginning of my time listening to the radio, to my very first logs. Taking you back to February 13, 1992. Enjoy.
