Hello all, like the subject line says I'm getting back into SWL. I was an
avid listener as a youth in the mid 1980s and even had a modest QSL
collection. My current shack consists of:

GE World Monitor model 7-2990 (bought new in 1985)
Panasonic RF-9 (bought new in 198?)
Zenith TransOceanic H-500 (picked up at Salvation Army thrift store for
$20!!)

Needless to say I'm a bit 'out of the loop'. Can anyone suggest some good
Yahoo or other groups to join?

I'm going to have roughly $400-500 to spend after Christmas, what are some
good receivers to look at?

Thanks in advance. To reply via email remove the no.spam from the address.

Well you might try to pick up a used Drake R8 or, (gasp) a new ICOM R75.

At any rate, welcome back to the hobby, and to RRS, always a hotbed of activity.
