CBS news said this morning that Saddam had a shortwave receiver with
him at the farm house where the spiderhole was located. Hmmmm... I
wonder what brand it was?

It wouldn't be very good reception 8 foot underground whatever it was.

If they ran a wire from the antenna up through the ventilator
shaft to ground level, it'd probably work.

Wrong... The tip came from a family member, if you can believe three
different news sources.

They get the 25 plus the short-wave radio Saddam didn't have. There
wasn't a darn thing in the hole except a fan for aid. Don't you watch
the correct new source? The ONLY U.S. news source on the scene was "F O
X", with a camera.

Since Madass Hussein had all sorts of Marantz hi-fi gear, it was probably
a
Grundig receiver ! Now for the $25 million question: who gets the reward?
And
who got to keep those Marantz units?

Until the rotating fan blades cut through the wire!

It sure couldn't have been a Sat-800. There's not enough room for him
and that 'portable' radio in the hole.

Hehehe, no doubt! Great radio, but HUGE, for a portable. Hell, it's huge for a
tabletop!
If he could have found a slightly larger rat hole to hide in, AND acquired one
of the larger, heavier boatanchor receivers, he could have blocked the entrance
to the hole with it, requiring a dozen men to move it, AND kept himself warm at
night. :-)

Maybe 'THEY' gave him an ICF-2001 and a one-time pad...

I have to clarify that the shortwave receiver was found in the farm
house with a longwire antenna and NOT in the spider hole as everybody
has been speculating here.
