OT: DZKIT Sienna?

The 19 set was what got me started in Radio. My Dad bought one (complete) from War Surplus dealers in London.
Everything was in Russian. I got it to receive by trail and error.
The first station I ever heard was a Jazz station from the Armed Forces Network in Germany. The signatyre tune was "Night Train"

I've liked Jazz and SW listenening ever since.

Sorry Eric, but the memories that email brought back......

radios were the 19 set, a British design
>> manufactured in Canada and
supplied to the Red Army under Lend-Lease.

I got started in radio when my dad brought home a WWII era BC342N (I still have it) when I was about 13 or 14 years of age.

I started listening to Willis Conover on the Voice of America Jazz Hour. I've heard it said that Conover was recognized by more people on the planet than the U.S. President.

When the other kids in high school were buying Elvis records, I was buying Brubeck.  I still have those too.
