Hey guys-
Complete& total SW rookie here. Today I was given a rarely-used GE
shortwave radio model 7-2990A today from a neighbor who was cleaning
out his mother-in-law's house to sell. It's in perfect shape and I'm
excited to have it.

I know nothing about this radio, or how to operate it, or SW at all.
I'm all over the www reading about SW in general, but I would love to
get a copy (or a PDF?) of the original manual so I can figure out the
knobs, etc. Would also love to know more about this radio's shortfalls,
things to improve, etc.

I'm in SoCal. You can reach me directly (probably the best way) at:

Thanks for any info/tips/advice!

Listen between 9.4 and 10 MHz in the morning. 17.5 to 17.8 MHz early
evening. These are the Asian/Pacific stations. There's also a bunch of
Canadian relays everywhere. Monitoring Times magazine has a pretty good
schedule.
