Greetings Hacienda de Ville..

Something to consider..

"Due to school, I don't have the time to devote to research as I would
like.."

I'll bet that you wouldn't like repeating classes. Get the school work
done first, concern yourself about the leisurely world of shortwave
listening as a much distant priority! Keep those priorities straight
and it will serve you well in the long run! Meanwhile, have some
patience, keep your eye out for and you'll probably come across a
fairly good deal on a radio in less time than you think.

Cheers,
Mr. Mentor

|

and Kaito

have read a
| lot of good things about them.
