New DX and shortwave listener
Yes, I plan to keep a log of what I hear. I'm not sure how much time
I'll have to listen on a cruise, but I will deffinately try. I'll probably bring a 20 to 30 foot section of wire to attach to my radio.

Often times the receiver gets overdriven and the excess signal strength doesn't help. I'd be interested to see what you pick up if you kept a log . "MrZ" wrote in message ups.com... I was wondering how to best hear my portable Sangean ATS 909 on a cruise ship - lots of metal . . . I have a long wire antenna that I can hook on my whip antenna and was wondering if that would do.

You might try 11 Mhz up to 17mhz daytime, and 4 mhz to 9 mhz evenings.
