Hi ppl,

I am new to radio hamming although I have some experience
with electronics and I work in computing so I'm not afraid of
technical stuff Basically I am looking at buying a radio that
can recieve short wave and possibly setting up some sort of
aerial for it (have access to the roof where I live and I have friends
tha can help put something reasonably simple up there). The main
reason I'm doing it is to recieve Voice of Korea ( DPRK - North
Korea), I'm also interested in recieving signal from Moscow
I know they have a very powerful transmitter there so it shouldn't
be a problem but I've heard that the DPRK signal is weak. The
problem I have is mainly what sort of radio I should get
that would give me the best reception. I can maybe afford
to shell-out about a hundred pounds, maybe a bit more if I'm
really convinced. What would you recommend to a beginning radio
ham who would like a reasonably decent radio set and trying
to recieve signals from Korea ? Has anyone experience with
recieving Voice of Korea from England, or Western Europe ?
(Until recently VOK was called Radio Pyongyang)

Regards from
laura
