At first a hearty welcome to the crowd.

Both known to keep everything to offtopic and posting under various
names. Please do NEVER ask a question or respond to them in any way.

OK. I bought a Grudig S350, comments, thoughts, suggestions?


It's an 'appetizer' just fine for a beginner :-)
For sure you want to upgrade to a tabletop receiver within a short time
when getting deeper into the stuff.
Your first upgrade may be an outdoor antenna. Just take a wire length of
10' to 20' connected to the whip antenna with an alligator clip....


I live in USA, Florida, Panhandle and I really want to catch up
on world news and the local cultures and going ons of various
countries, can someone help me out and toss a newbie a bone or
two?


OK.Here's a first bone ;-)
A free database for shortwave broadcast:
http://www.ilgradio.de/ilgradio.htm


I also understand Morse code as well as the next boy scout, but
some of it I seem to be picking up seems to be bursting out so fast
that I'm starting to think it isn't even Morse code, is there some
other high speed data burst stuff going on or am I just really
clueless to Morse code?


A second bone ;-)
On this site you will find a lot of stuff for decoding morse code and
digital modes on shortwave with computer and soundcard:
http://www.muenster.de/~welp/sb.htm

also any truth to the half murky stuff about random M/C popping up
at random places and times across the world and no one know
exactly what the **** is going on?

Thank You.

Zaphod "stil prez, stil a newbie"

PS. I think that shortwave radio is kinda like the internet only for people
who have imagination. Am I wrong or a snob?


You are wrong and a snob :-)
Best regards from Berlin/Germany.

First and foremost: Beware of Volker Tonn, known NAZI sympathiser and he's
definitely anti-American... beware.

Volker,

I post under 2 names. One I use for Sw info. You, on the other hand, post
almost nothing to do with SW.


I do only post under my one and real name. I have nothing to hide.
I NEVER started offtopic threads like you do all the way. And at least I
post SW-related things _sometimes_.
Your offtopic crap is far superior over annything SW-related from you.
So stop whining.


I understand your problems with Lare, but please don't defame me to satisfy
your attempts to be the "good guy" on the Ng. You aren't.


I never claimed to be a good guy. I'm getting REALLY bad on proven bad
ones -you know very good-. I do not make a difference in extreme
political skills or the colour of ones skin. Nazis are as bad as
communists and there is no markable difference in percentage of bad
people of all colours. At least you're able to discuss without insulting
primilary -Steve is not he just proved again-. And you're the one taking
everything to offtopic. This time as always....
