pretty good advice; lots of us have odd items in the closet awaiting the
next big garage sale to discreetly dump and get rid of too ;-)

see http://people.smu.edu/arc/shortwave.html for some notes on "best buys"
in a 0.1-30Mhz SSB/CW/AM digital radio (Degen 1103..) circa $50 + $15 S/H
on ebay (new in box with charger and NiMH batteries etc.). Nice little
portable SWL receiver, and if you don't like SWLing, you haven't lost much
$$ and can still use it on FM stereo and AM ;-)
