Mike,
I did. I asked a question, and got a coupla good answers.
I'm a noob at SW and want to learn some more stuff.
Unfortunately it looks like the political slaves have infiltrated this group
too.
Seems some people have no life except through trying to select a new hero.
Anyway, I want to get my feet wet with SW and other types of radios, without
breaking the bank, can you suggest a method of getting up to speed on all of
this?
Don

Hi Don,

Great to read a posting about radio.

There are loads of clubs etc, for starters I suggest to subscribe to Glenn
Hauser's DXLD - see http://www.worldofradio.com/

Thanks Mike, I'll check it out.
What do you think of the Sony 7600GR?
What are the 5 most important things to look for in a shortwave radio?
I've been shopping around, but it's difficult to know what to look for.
I'm down here in wind torn Cape Coral, FL and I think I want a small battery
powered model, but I also want as many necessary features as possible.
During Charley we were without power for 5 days.
Thanks.

Not sure Don, but Sony are a good brand.

I suppose reliabilty, portability, selectivity, battery economy, solid
manufacture.

Hope you are OK now.

We're gearing up for Frances right now, will probably be here during the
night.
I was just outside watching the Feeder Bands over head, awesome.
