Good starter Shortwave Radio?
Check out any thrift stores in your area for any radios you like.I own
over 300 old radios, most of them I bought at thrift stores and junk shops and flea markets.Check out the yard sales too. No such thing as owning too many radios. http://www.shopgoodwill.com cuhulin |

I know it works, as i was able to get a country radio station on it, but i hope the poor reception was due to my improvised antenna (some co-axle cable) and not the radio. I downloaded the manual so I know how to warm up the tubes and all that. (Has original knobs i think) So now I am trying learn with about 20 foot co-ax antenna. |

And sorry that my last post came in my old "Drgong" name. Anyways,
the tube radio is nice, but I suspect that if just for power usage, I will not be overly using it. |

My brother in law (he is a retired Air Force Colonel) has a big old boat
anchor radio.I never said anything to him about that radio before because most likely he would shoot me the ''evil eye''. cuhulin |
