My Hallicrafters SX-24 in\u00a0the holiday spirit!<\/p><\/div>\n

[Update:<\/strong> This contest is over, but you can read all of our radio memories on this Christmas Eve post.<\/a>]<\/p>\n

It’s the winter holiday season here in North America, typically a great time to slip\u00a0into the shack, sip some warm mulled cider\/eggnog\/coffee, and explore the world via the shortwaves, mediumwaves, and longwaves. Truly an experience of comfort and joy.<\/p>\n

Fred Osterman at Universal Radio<\/a> contacted me recently and offered\u00a0to support\u00a0a little contest to celebrate the holiday season–with\u00a0a little gift!<\/p>\n

The contest<\/h2>\n

We’ve put together a simple contest; both a US and international winner will be chosen at random. All you have to do is\u00a0share the following with us using the contest entry form below:<\/p>\n

Do you have any special holiday memories that involve…well, radio? Perhaps you remember\u00a0a seasonal broadcast, received a special radio as a gift, or otherwise enjoyed the holidays through radio? Please share your story!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Of course, this contest encompasses any<\/em> holiday–Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa,\u00a0Ramadan, Easter, or\u00a0any other religious or secular holiday in which\u00a0a particular radio memory played a part.<\/p>\n

We’ll select a number of these memories and share them in a post here,\u00a0just to put\u00a0us all in the holiday spirit.<\/p>\n

The Prize<\/h2>\n

Universal is offering a\u00a0handy Grundig Edition Eton Mini<\/a> to our US winner and another to our international winner! \u00a0Merry, merry!<\/p>\n
