People listen to shortwave radio mainly for the diversity and the less

BBC's gone, India's gone, Ausria's almost gone...guess if you want to hear

I can pretty much find stuff to listen to 6am till midnight...
Late at night theres Aussie radio...
I can handle a little static.
It was no problem listening to a PL230 strapped to my sunroof handle
till I sold that car.
Now I have no sunroof.
I was just wonderin if it would work.

I have steering wheel radio controls so I don't want to redesign the

Or get a new steering wheel....
I really wouldn't mind the FrigiKing look.

Status,style,prestige,impressing the herd and cutting edge hi-tech

Sad-o-light radio costs money.

( I've see idiots paying $80.00 a month to get their brains
constipated !)
And what do they get for that?
They get to pay for Dizzney wether they watch it or not.
(And feed the rat)
or they are forced to foot the bill for mind numbing gladitorial
sports stations wether they watch them or not.
Nope....
Poo poo on XM


Thanx anyway!
