Subject: Hi, I'm new
I'm new, so I'd like to wish everyone here a good day and a big HELLO.
OK. I bought a Grudig S350, comments, thoughts, suggestions?

I'm surprised no one has said this yet, so I will. Get the newest edition
(2004) of Passport to World Band Radio from Amazon or your favorite book
seller. It's chock full of SW information, like broadcast schedules,
equipment reviews, and interesting articles. The World Radio and TV
Handbook (WRTH) is another popular guide.
Also, look for a Radio Shack wind-up antenna. It's a 24-foot wire on a
plastic reel with a clip on one end to attach to your whip antenna. It will
make that excellent portable of yours much more sensitive and it makes it
easy to use the radio in different rooms in the house or on camping trips to
St. Andrews State Park.
Have fun.
Greg
