Some Morse code /CW is very fast! You can get round this by plugging your
audio out into the soundcard of your PC and get a CW/data decoding program
like CW get Ham Com is an all rounder but getting on a bit.
A penny on the antenna is a $ on the rig, so get a few pennies worth of
wire
out and you will hear more than a set top antenna.
Short wave listening is for anyone with a few quid spare to buy a radio.
Or
a few pennies spare to build a radio.
One of the cheapest, and one of the most expensive hobbies, rolled into
one
king sized skin.. If you want to try ham data try doing a search for
PSK31
or slowscan TV. If you get a RITTY decoding program, you might pick up
some
news from the news agencies who still use that mode (not many now days)
All
the best



Thank you sir. I'm not sure I got all that but I got the jest of it.
With my radio, if you're familiar with the brand at all, (Grundig S350)
would be a good antenna, it has a plug for it and if there's a hole, I like
to fill it.
