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 a look around this site:

If you can stretch to 115 quid then the Sangean ATS 909 is probably the best
value decent receiver if you can get one.

There are loads on ebay from a German dealer brand new at the buy it now
price of 115 UKP.
