Various large, AM broadcasters like BBC, Radio Netherlands, Radio
Vilnius, Radio Ukraine International, etc. You could also monitor marine communcitions, aeronautical communications, amateur radio operators, coast guard, military, MARS nets, and so on and so on. Take your pick! Steve |

Ok, where do I start? Is there a guide somewhere? I was not a DXer
nor would I describe myself as a shortwave enthusiast in the past. I just enjoyed listening to a few shortwave stations mainly for information I couldn't get locally at the time. I have a friend who enjoys plane-spotting. He goes to Logan Airport with a camera almost everyday and gets excited when he sees a new plane or one in new "colors" or strange markings. Is being a shortwave enthusiast a little like that or is it more useful and less neurotic? wrote: Various large, AM broadcasters like BBC, Radio Netherlands, Radio Vilnius, Radio Ukraine International, etc. You could also monitor marine communcitions, aeronautical communications, amateur radio operators, coast guard, military, MARS nets, and so on and so on.

Is there a guide somewhere? Yes, www.google.com I'm not trying to be a smartass here. Do searches for military coms, hurricane nets (very busy at the moment), utilities listening, or whatever. You'll find some web sites with lots of info. You can quickly take the paths that interest you, better than following a random list of links that we might provide for you here.

You don't have to be neurotic to be an SWLer, but being neurotic helps if you want to participate in this newsgroup! Happy listening.
