12th December 1949

I think I'm allowed to celebrate my birthday on here. My birthday!!!
So 65 years ago it all happened from my point of view - I appeared into the world. 

I had to wait another 12 years before I got my first radio - a MW and LW only Stella ST415T transistor portable:

Oh, to find one of these on EBay!

Anyway, looking forward to many more years of listening pleasure ...
