You're lucky to have a cabin in the woods. Sounds perfect...especially
if you're on enough land to string up a really long wire.

I've thought seriously about redoing the cabin for year round living,
and moving up there. It's RF quiet, with even cell phone service tough
to come by. And local radio is God Awful. There's more than enough real
estate for a decent length of wire, or more involved installation, and
it's 5 miles to the nearest human, and that's across the lake.

The SW listening is pretty decent. Even MW DX is good.

It really is a great place to get away.


And stay away.

WF,

Gee for a 'portable' AM/FM Radio to 'tote about'
it would be the Grundig S350 / Tecsun BCL-2000.

For a 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio to 'tote about'
it would be the Eton E1 Receiver with XM Satellite Radio.

For a 'small' mobile AM/MW Shortwave Receiver to
use as a Field Radio it would be the Icom IC-R75
using the Car's Battery.

For a "Travel" 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio to
carry in my luggage while Travaling my choice would
be the Sony ICF-SW7600GR with the Sony AN-LP1
'portable' Shortwave Antenna; plus NiMH Batteries.

WHY - All of the above have a LCD Frequency Display;
a real Tuning Knob; built-in Speaker and long Battery Life.
(Sony has no Tuning Knob)

hey - it's just an opinion folks
and i do own all four radios ~ RHF
