Not aimed at you, just a general rant:

Audio is nice, but why is it that the same people who complain about
less-than-audiophile-quality audio in shortwave receivers seem to
coincide with the people who complain about big receivers? It seems
like people are expecting a one-ounce, three-inch, fifty-watt speaker
with perfectly flat response from 10 to 100,000 Hz, and a fifty-watt
amplifier that nurses two AAA batteries for thirty weeks.

Really, how many radios do NOT give reasonably good audio through
headphones, or through an external amplifier/speaker, *especially*
those with synchronous detection?

Both Kerry and Edwards announced their candidacy near the beginning of September,
2003, so let's only count votes before then. From January, 2003, to August, 2003,
Senator Edwards didn't vote 69 out of 320 opportunities (~22%) and Senator Kerry
didn't vote 182 out of 320 opportunities (~57%). http://www.mwilliams.info/archives/001349.php
