Al, you did not answer my question, and you're being evasive. What is the
source for your claim that "3,000 OR 4,000 JEWS WHO NORMALLY WORKED AT
THAT BUILDING (World Trade Center) HAD BEEN TOLD NOT TO REPORT TO WORK
THAT DAY"?

SW Radio Content: I've never liked the VFO "chuffing" of most digital SW
portable radios, and have previously used a drifty Sony 5900 analog
portable. But I recently stumbled upon a clean Sangean 803A for $15 at a
local thrift store, and I actually like it very much, despite the VFO
muting when tuning. Its BFO is very stable, and I like being able to use
the keypad for frequency entry. In almost every way the Sangean is a
better radio than the 1980s solid-state Heathkit SW-7800 "tabletop" I used
to use.

So one of these years I'm gonna upgrade the Sangean 803A. Al, what's your
favorite of the new small SW portables? (I listen to SSB and CW, so I
need a BFO.)

Thanks. --Leigh Marrin/KM6JE.
