Default I like my Grundig YP-400PE...

Hi all. I'm new to this board, and shortwave in general.

My wife bought me the above mentioned unit back in March for my
birthday. She purchased it from Radio Shack. It works very well. Now,
we live in a college residence hall (she has a job as an assistant
hall director), and it has very thick walls, etc. Usually our FM
reception sucks, AM is almost non-existent. However, the Grundig pulls
in FM very well, and can get some AM. However, it really does great on
shortwave! I use the supplied reel antenna, place it in the window,
and have heard China Radio International, Voice of Russia, BBC from
South Africa, etc. Don't know where all the negative comments about
this radio come from, because I really like it.

Last weekend we went up north...close to the Michigan UP border...I
could pull in WTMJ from Milwaukee on 620 AM, and heard China Radio and
Radio Havana very clearly, as well as a lot of FM.

Any other people listening in Southeastern Wisconsin? Would appreciate
any tips, or suggestions for a better indoor antenna. We can't put
anything up outside the window.

Thanks,
Mason
