It’s amazing what you stumble across when searching the internet – in this case a DX quiz from 50 years ago.
Since the original quiz sheet isn’t too clear to publish, we have decided to reproduce the quiz here on DX-World in the hope that someone with a degree in historical DXCC might know the answers. Remember, these questions were posed 50 years ago so prefix and country name changes have taken place.
Drop us a line if you know some of the answers.
*Complete answers will be posted in a few days time.
