Yes have one. Is OK in a pinch, needless to say gets better reception at
late hours. Will overload badly with a wire attached, suggest no more than a
foot. Is VERY sensitive to ambient electrical noises. Sliderule dial is off
by varying amounts band to band. Is very battery efficient especially when
earplug is used. (Pick your own, the included buds are painful.)

All:

getting a new SWR; Bell & Howell 9 Band Shortwave Radio
- as a gift; $20, I mean, why not !

- Anyone have one ?
Anyone hook it up to a REAL long antenna & see what obtains??

Anyone find any neat stuff to do with it once you take it apart ??

Thanks

Harvey
