My New Shortwave Radio
 

Yesterday, I bought a Grundig YB 400/E World Receiver from Radio Shack. It
doesn't have the bells and whistles that more expensive radios. However, it
does seem to be a solid radio that does a good job of DXing. After being out
of listening to shortwave radio for a few years, it's going to feel good to
get back into it again.

Is there any way that I can get amateur radio maps that show the call letter
prefixes for North America and the world? I'd appreciate any ideas on where
I can get some maps.

The guy asked for MAPS OF CALLSIGNS in the world, not
a plug for your piece of garbarge software that you have to buy.

I BOUGHT your garbage program, and it SUCKS.

What a leech.

Never Forget.

ARRL is a good source for wall maps...there is a company called Hammaps,
they have a map really cheap called DX
something...http://www.millarts.net/pricing.html...I bought the laminated
copy and its in the mail now...looks good. For callsigns only arrl is your
best bet probably...if you find any others that are good please send them to
me:) Thanks!

Bill,

Congratulations on your new radio and welcome back to sw listening. My first
sw radio was the YB400 (the original dark version) and I listened to it
constantly for several years. I used the reel-up wire with it quite a
bit...really picks up the sensitivity in the daytime.

Although I now own more radios (should I say, more than I should!), you will
basically be able to hear most of what's out there on the YB400. Have a
great time!

Jay
