Shortwave Radio, Peking, 1968 

This reminds me very much of my shortwave radio hobby I had as a kid. I used to listen to some of the most obscure broadcasts and had a very sophisticated long-wire antenna. I also remember listening to the first broadcast, over shortwave, of the first Chinese satellite. It was basically the same interval signal as Radio Peking (The East Is Red).

0:01 国际歌 1:04 东方红 1:46 电台开始

Lived in Munich, at night the signal was clear as a bell, that must have been one powerful transmitter. Hallicrafter shortwave radio.

It was my favorite radio from 1970 to 1977.

Brilliant! I started listening to Radio Peking around 1975. And received a whole lot of QSL cards and other things from them.

Always beginning the broadcasts with a quotation from Chairman Mao! (and always repeating the quotation, too!!)

I never heard their signal this well. I lived in Michigan and used to hear them coming in weakly on 31 meters. I used to use a Heathkit GR-64 and a 50 foot longwire.

Long Live The Internationale! Greetings to you all from Tocopilla, Chile.

The first song is international song

I used to listen to Radio Peking in Ohio [when USA and China had no diplomatic relations] during the 1960s and ever since. Thanks for the memory

Came on at night....oh 9 and 11mhz afternoon and 6 and 7mhz at night..heard in California

The public health incident showed the superiority of the Chinese system

What is the name of the temple shown in the picture

Mao Tse-tung was a great leader.

The PRC is one of the few things that still give me hope in this world

Are they our friend now??

Hopes for the poor. May the spirit of Red China and Mao live forever
