I would hardly think your questions would be any more out of place.

To ask whether it fits isn't quite off-topic, but there is indeed
a distinct difference between this newsgroup and rec.radio.shortwave
where the actual questions would belong.

The fact that there is junk here is not an excuse to let more junk
in.

And of course, one could balance the junk with actual on-topic posts.

I'm not sure whether I qualify to post notes on this newsgroups, since I
don't know what qualifies as a boat anchor radio. I'm interested in
general coverage receiving, but I'm not a Ham and haven't got into
transcievers or transmitting stations. - I have a Realistic DX-160,
bought recently from Ebay, and also a Radio Shack portable similar to
the Sangean ATS-909. Is this group directed only to HAM radio, or would
general DX receivers also qualify? I would guess that my small portable
wouldn't, but I'm not sure about the DX-160?

Can anyone tell me what whether general DX receiving would be within the
general subject matter of the ng?

Thanks,
Jim Cate
