Mark:

Check here for reviews of SW Radios;

http://www.rnw.nl/realradio/rx_current.html

- Off the top of my head:

Grundig Satellite 800,
Sony 7600GR
Sangeans ATS 909A


AND You'll need a good external antenna

( 30 foot random wire will actually do pretty well; youu can build it yourself
)

Look here :

Hey Gang,

I am in need of some help in picking out a new shortwave radio. I no
nothing about them, but I am looking for something for $150 or less.
The SOLE PURPOSE that I need this radio for is to pull in as clearly
as possible any and all radio stations from the UK. Specifically the
BBC stations. I live in Minneapolis, MN if that makes any
difference. I am not at all concerned with am, fm or stations from
any other part of the world, ONLY the UK. My wife wants to get me one
for Christmas, so quick replies would be appreciated. Thanks in
advance for any help you can provide. Please e-mail all responses to
me at

Mark
