I've been having fun listening to Shortwave. I recently bought an
amazing radio. It's the SONY ICF-2010, and it picks up the faintest of
signals! The sync detector works great. I still have the Zenith
trans-oceanic H500, but i use the SONY more. Shortwave is still going
strong! I've been picking up all kinds of weird signals. I think i heard
india on 9425kHz.Then i put on SSB on 20 meters, and i heard a ham from
tokyo! I want to learn how to DX with it.

Hi Jacob - enjoy your 2010 = a really great portable, but don't hang
too big a wire antenna on it, as I blew the front end twice on mine
doing that.

An essential to enjoying your radio is to have a copy of the latest
Passport to Worldband Radio, 2009 version. See:

Have fun and good DX
