Hi Newsgroup,

How many folks listen to shortwave radio in the US? I have to wonder where
shortwave is going, whats the appeal of SW station when there are millions
of radio streams available?

Personally, I like listening to it but the only time I seem to be able to hear
it is when I shut my computers off. ("Shielding" the computers would be a lost
cause, just too many of them, with ethernet and all that..)

Anyone else have this problem? Will a shielded antenna line work? (I was
thinking about maybe using my clothes line as an antenna)

I've got a DX-392 (Made by sangean under radioshack name) how does this compare
with a table-top model? Would a table-top model get MW any better? (The DX-292
kind of sucks for MW reception)

I've got my eyes on some table top models, something I can hook up to a
computer and/or the stereo, but I don't want to spend the $$, especially if it
suffers the same problems as my DX-392. Computer noise, station fading in and
out, (Gets LOUD then quiet and LOUD)

Also, are these shortwaves with remote controls really worth it? Since
a station goes off air, often need to adjust 1Khz and a lot of other fiddling,
seems like a good remote control would be nice. (obviously, something that
handles the wavy lOuD-qUiEt problem as well as compensating for frequency
shift automatically would be nicer)
