Have a friend who listens to tape delayed BBC broadcasts on local FM
station. Would like to get him an inexpensive ($100 or less) shortwave
radio so he can hear the real deal live. He won't install a secondary
antenna, so a unit with a good antenna is a must. Digital tuning (ie, the
ability to see the frequency) would be nice, too. He is in northern Indiana,
USA. Thanks for any tips/advice.


BBC World Service is streamed online (at www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice),
isn't it? Okay, occasionally they won't play a particular program
online, but at least (a) it's free (assuming he has an Internet
connection), and (b) it's not subject to having to search for a signal
that's not aimed to North America.
