Newbie on a Brooklyn Rooftop - Should I Bother?
Hi All,
Complete newbie here considering purchasing a shortwave radio, but since I've heard that sw's can have trouble picking up signals in NYC I want to get some info from the experts before I take the plunge. I live in northern Brooklyn, NY, in a top-floor apartment that has roof access. There are really no buildings much taller than mine in the area (save Manhattan across the river, of course). So I'm wondering, can I expect much success in picking up shortwave stations, and if so, what do you think is the cheapest model I could get away with for my area and still expect decent results? I know that sw involves some work and hunting, which I'm prepared to do, I just don't want to be completely out-of-luck. Let me know how you think I should proceed. Much thanks in advance!!! |
