I'm curious about what everyone in this newsgroup considers as their
best shortwave receiver.

Well, "best" could refer to a lot of things (selectivity, sensitivity,
number of bells and whistles) but my *favorite* is my Hallicrafters
SX-28. Really neat Art Deco styling and you can't beat the push-pull 6V6
audio going into that big PM-23 speaker. As an added benefit, the 75
pound weight of the receiver helps hold the house down during tornado
season.
