Thanks for the welcome Dave! As a matter of fact, I just got a copy of the
2004 Anniversary "Passport" the other day. I had been working with my old
1989 WRTH but it was too out of date for even a miser like me to deal with!=
I think I like the format even better than the WRTH. I was really REALLY
lucky to get a deal like that on that receiver! There were some awesome
bargains at that estate sale, and my wife and I bought a carload of stuff,
but that was the only piece of radio equipment there.
73s and good DX'ing to ya

Welcome Glen,

make a nice profit. I think anyone who works for a living is probably a
casual listener! I would recommend grabbing the latest "Passport To
Worldband Radio" Publication so you can start looking for stations as
opposed to just spinning the dial at random. I was able to find mine at
Barnes and Noble....in stock. They also have the WRTH which is another goo=

publication. Enjoy and 73,

Hi folks- I=B9ve been an on-and-off casual SWL for almost 40 years, since I
built a Heath =B3Star-Roamer=B2 when I was about 14. I was active for several
years until I got sidetracked by THE GIRLS! I pretty much forgot about
DX=B9ing till about10 years ago, when (now married and =B3settled down=B2) I fou=
nd
a working Hallicrafters S-120 at a garage sale for $6.00. I couldn=B9t resi=
st
it, and with a truly CRAPPY antenna, used it for the next couple years to
listen to BBC, Radio Moscow and DW.
About a month ago, at yet another garage sale, (Can you tell I=B9m a
CHEAPSKATE??) I found a Realistic DX-300 in excellent condition for $7.00.
Now, I realize that this receiver isn=B9t in the same league as the iComs,
Ten-tecs and Drakes that most of you use, but for me it was a HUGE step up
and the price couldn=B9t be beat! I bought it, installed an improved (but
still insufficient) antenna, and now I=B9m hooked again! I=B9m logging the ki=
nd
of stations that I could only dream of in years past, and expect that with
this groups kind guidance, my listening and DX=B9ing experience will only
become more enjoyable. Maybe I=B9ll even be able to make some worthwhile
contributions!
That=B9s my story and I=B9m stickin=B9 to it...
Thanks and good luck
Glen
