Possibly an Asia/Oceana broadcast.

If BBC is all you are interested in, why not just listen online?

Click on Open BBC Radio Player. Let it install the WMP active X control
and listen static free 24 hours a day.

I don't think that will work on the Eton E1.

Wow. What a brilliant, incisive comment.

The point being, if all he is interested in is BBC, there is little point in
buying a $500 radio. His current computer is more than enough.

My brilliant and incisive comment pertains to the fact that this is
rec.radio.shortwave

He has a computer and Internet connection or he could not post to the
news group.

Why listen to low bit rate audio on the Internet anyway.

Why? Let me count the ways:
1. The bbc streams at about 20k and sounds very good
2. It is free from fading, static, interference, and hiss.
3. The bbc web site offers a wide variety of programs.
4. It is free.
5. It is available 24/7

9740 in the morning is about it. (Unless you get an XM attachment for
the E-1. The World Service is on 24/7. Fee required.)
