Maybe what you really need to do is make sure you got a nice quiet
piece of land somewhere far away from the city. Then a good antenna
and a decent receiver. One of those crappy little chinese radios
actually do a nice job in a quiet zone. I especially like it when the
power goes out cause things get nice and quiet.

No kiddin'. I have heard plenty of stuff on my R75 here in suburban
CA, USA to be sure, but back in rural New England as a teenager, I
heard practically as much on a Radio Shack Astronaut-8 and 50 feet of
wire, just because the noise background was about 30-60 dB lower than
here.
