If I ever write a book on radio, I'll call it "Snow on the water," because that's basically how it worked for all those decades. Live, then lost. Good to hear that, Ted.

I sent copies of these tapes to WNAX and the State Historical Archive in Pierre. Currently, I am making copies for two men who are interested in the WNAX history. A fire destroyed the WNAX studio in 1983, so it was fortunate that I saved some of their audio history.

I grew up some 25 miles from its transmitter and could see its beacons at night. My first DXing was on an old Coronado console radio with one of those magic eye tuning tubes in the middle of the dial. The better the signal, the closer the tuning visuals got. For WNAX only, they closed all the way and overlapped a bit. My mom would listen to "Your Neighbor Lady" weekday afternoons and all the farmers would listen to prices for barrows and gilts and grain commodities. I went to ham radio classes in its basement in the 60s (licensed then as WAØKKR, now N7DH) and that exposure to broadcasting led me to a long career. --Dennis Doc – Thanks for jarring loose some great memories of WNAX.
