I got my Grundig radio. Thanks, David, for mentioning that there was such a beast as a $29 shortwave radio. Of course, I had to call my Dad to tell him. He sounded just as excited as I am! Time to tune in the BBC World Service.

It’s an entry level drug. You’re listening to the BBC and before you know it you are thinking about buying one of these: http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/commrxvr/0082.html
Aaaarh! Shopping. Cart. Full. Must. Stop.
Actually, I’ve never ramped up to one of the big boys yet, (low-budget listener) but I have like 5 portables for various uses – hamnet stuff in the during storm season…(hey I;m in florida, we’re neurotic about it all now) and my Sangean ATS-909 in the bedroom/home office with the random longwire out the window for spynumbers and other esoterica.
Glad to see a SWL blog out here! Post your finds!
