Shortwave radio listening

islandpiper:
Any of you geezers or geezers-in-training listen to SW? I'm thinking of buying a radio and could use some advice. Answer here or PM me. Thanks, piper

Diligence:
I used to listen to SW back in the early 80's.  I found it by accident on an ancient JVC ghetto blaster I had.  Ran about 30' of snare wire around my room as an antenna.  Used to hear all kinds of neat stuff bouncing over the arctic and down to my place.......no SW since then, but it was a neat memory you brought up for me.

islandpiper:
Dang, the scary part is that the early 80's just seems like yesterday.    I remember my Dad referring to the 1930's the same way.   hmmmm

thanks for the story.  I want to hear what the rest of the world is REALLY  saying about issues without it being "filtered" by the American media.

  I  love  it!!!   try  C.Crane  radio.com   I  bought  a   sangean,   505  ( I think thats  the  model )  it's a  small  portable  w/big  power,  they  used  to  offer it  in an  unlocked tuner I wish  I  opted for  that  but  it's  a  great  radio,  also  a  grundig  radio is  hard  to  beat  The  head phone  jack  is  stereo  great  sound!!!  I  also  have  a  Lafayette  tube job  a bunch of  others  geeze!  don't  get  me  started!    73's  to  you  happy  dx'ing  Jw

I still have the same panasonic short wave we had when I was a kid. I take it out every few years and listen to wierd stuff. I might have to take it out again now. Thanks
