As Christmas draws near, I remember the thrill of getting my first
shortwave radio for Christmas.

If you were going to buy a shortwave radio for a kid today, which one
and why?

Thanks

If you want something that would last, and not have to be replaced if he
really got into it, and would get nearly the entire purchase price back
if he didn't like it:

I wouldn't even bother with most of the junky new portables they have
for sale now.
