What Mediumwave DX sounded like in 1933: this video posted by the Antique Wireless Association features clips recorded by a UK DXer that year of mediumwave stations from the U.S. as received at his location. He was recording to aluminum disc, a process that involved “embossing” rather than cutting, as with lacquer discs. The audio (and reception) quality is pretty amazing:
