Grundig S350.

Up here in the Great White North getting a Tecsun from ebay would cost
almost as much as the S350 at Radio Shack, but still I wondered about
spending that much$.

Yesterday I went in and they had a flyer that said get the S350, get a
Grunding P100 free. The only S350 they had still had a sale sticker on
it -
$20 off. For that combo, I bit - he can have the little one as well for
travel/camping.

Couldn't get him to go to bed last night.

"Listen - it's from SWEDEN!"

Worth it, as was the advice here; thanks all.


YESSSS ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

- Thats how I felt, hearing all these strange broadcasts when I was a
Kid..

Hope you get him a copy of Monitoring times or something similar;


Noooooo!! Don't ruin half the fun for him by taking the magic out of it by
giving him a schedule.. The thing about SW for a kid (and I remember it
well) is the thrill of discovery. Give him a schedule, and you take that
away.. kinda ruins the wonder part of the experience.
