I am in China teaching English for 1 week now (will be here 1-2 years
- did I tell you I was going? in the same town as Mark and Rene
Strand - they helped me land the position) and the previous British
teacher residents left their old portable AM/FM/MW/SW 9-band radio
here. It appears to have shortwave capability and I'd like to play
around with it and see if I can tune in English-language radio (I can
get internet radio over my univeristy-supplied broadband Internet
access but wanted to try SW too). I searched the producton the web
and found it here

If you click on the pic you can get a closer up view.
Can you tell from the picture how I would operate it? There is an
owners manual but of course all in Chinese, and "that's Greek to me"
so far! I have never done shortwave before so all I'm doing is
flipping around the spin-dial randomly on the different bands 1-7 and
only get Chinese stuff. How would I try to get anything else? What
band and what number should I try to get something from America? Ans
is it possible with my 10-12 foot external antenna....?
Thanks for any ideas you have!
