Yeah, sure, dump your Cable & go Shortwave.... I mean, are you really gonna miss home Shopping Network ? ? Have you looked at how expensive cable is lately? And I bet he's only got one cable provider so they probably charge highway robbery rates. And what do they give you for your arm and leg-six home shopping channels and ten movie channels? Theres lots of good stuff on SWR; Look at Sony 7600, YB400 and Sangean 505A for starters.. Since it sounds like he's in a rather remote location, he may want to splurge for a used tabletop and a good outside antenna. AND as far as " other "TV stations, try put up a Second / 3rd. 4rth antenna & hooking them together..; & see what you can pick up ! ! Honestly, I don't watch too much TV except for local news. I get all my international news from SW. Dan In article , writes: Im thinking of dumping my cable TV. That will leave me with only two local TV stations to get via an antenna. Im considering buying a shortwave receiver that I can listen to while doing things around the house. Is there interesting programming available via shortwave? Is my idea sound? What good receivers are worth looking at? |

Way Cool !! ;-) RHF is just lucky to live within the signal areas of THREE markets-San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto, and Salinas-Monterey. I live inland and am lucky to get channel 7 on a good night. When I was a kid channel 36 used to be receivable inland but it's not anymore. And every so often I could get KSBW on channel 8, but that channel is occupied by a LPTV station in my area now (that plays yet another home shopping channel). |
