During the earliest days of radio, listeners enjoyed trying to tune in distant stations. These "DX" listeners would send reception reports to the station hoping to receive the station's EKKO stamp, which would be glued into a special album. The samples to the left are WPAJ and WDRC's early EKKO stamps. The sample on the right was issued by the Bryant Company in the early 1930s. |

| Sometimes
stations would send form letters confirming reception, like the one below mailed to G.E. Jacques in Hornell, NY on December 1, 1931.  |

| Still later, stations printed QSL cards to quickly respond to DX fans, like the ones below from 1943 and 1970. |
