for the last few months miami got hit with hurricane after hurricane..
in buying supplies i bought a small handheld radio that receives SW..
its from a brand called LIFELONG.. at the time all i wanted was a
battery operated handheld radio for when the power went out.. in
playing around with it i noticed how much fun listening to SW can be,
and id like to get into it as a hobby.. is there a FAQ for this
newsgroup? and what other good sites are there for a beginer?
thanks


Go get the book "Passport to world band radio for starters and do a google
search for Shortwave radio.
