Yeah, sure, dump your Cable & go Shortwave....

I mean, are you really gonna miss home Shopping Network ? ?

Theres lots of good stuff on SWR;

Look at Sony 7600, YB400 and Sangean 505A for starters..

AND as far as " other "TV stations, try put up a Second / 3rd. 4rth
antenna & hooking them together..; & see what you can pick up ! !

Im thinking of dumping my cable TV.
That will leave me with only two local
TV stations to get via an antenna.

Im considering buying a shortwave receiver that
I can listen to while doing things around the house.

Is there interesting programming available via shortwave?
Is my idea sound?
What good receivers are worth looking at?
