As an aside to sdaniel3's thread further down, what's the
shortwave receiver that gave you the most "fun" while
listening?

Three stand out from the pack for us:

Classic radio: Collins R-392, the watertight "little brother"
to the R-390/A. (this was the only radio I ever owned that
I could squirt with a garden hose in the backyard on a
95° F Summer day, while it was still turned on, and it kept
right on playing !!)

Modern radio(s): Drake SW-8 and the Yaesu-Musen FRG-7.
(..the Drake SW-8 was rather quirky in it's control pad layout but
it was great to put in a few D-Cell batteries and take it camping)
