Hehe... Yeah, I went up on the top of the hill between Noe Valley and
Glen Park last night, just to test things out. Really good reception.

I am already hooked.

MC,

Take a trip to the Great Meadow in Golden Gate Park.

Bring your Radio a Blanket and a Thermos of Irish Coffee.

Pick a spot in the middle of the Meadow; put down the
Blanket and have a seat. Place the Radio between
your legs with the Whip Antenna extended and Listen.
Now have a sip or two of the Irish Coffee and Enjoy
your Radio.

Just an update on this. I started to get some broadcasts tonight.
Picked up Voice of the Andes, and Radio Havana.

I also figured out that some of the low voltage lights in my house are
causing major interference (loud buzzing). If I turn them off, then it
goes away.

Thanks for the help. I am already getting hooked. Now I just need to
find a good started receiver, and antenna.

If you can't hear buzzing on the radio, in the middle of a city,
there's something wrong with it. Does the AM work? Can you get KGO?
If so, you may want to mess with the Ext Antenna jack, it could have
crud in it. A few cycles with a 3.5mm plug will clean it up.- Hide

You too can build your very own Wave Bubble Self Tuning RF Jammer.Here's
Lady Ada's website to show and tell y'all all about it.But you can't
build them and sell them though,the fuzz will come after you.

Hello Mike:
I live in SF and I also have an SW7600GR (among other radios). It's possible to pick up English Deutsche Welle transmissions from Kigali here. They're not targeting North America but it comes in quite clearly here sometimes. My website often lists the shortwave stations I've been listening to, and the best antenna I have is a Degen DE31 active loop. So you will probably be able to get the same results. Good luck!
