I thought you needed a subscription to listen to Sirius.

You have a choice. You can listen ''free'' (most days) on a $500
radio with a 50 foot antenna, or, you can listen for $13/month on a
$20 dollar radio with a bean bag size antenna.

The content is the same, but there's big difference in audio quality
and link robustness.

There are at least 2 kinds of shortwave listener. One just likes
fishing for stations and doesn't care abgout content. The other is
interested in the voices from afar. Some of us are a little of both
and have the widest possible range of receiving options.
