up Russian broadcasts. That's not my primary reason for getting it,
but it would be nice.

Also, do people still ask for and receive QSLs? I picked up a library
book about short-wave radio and according to that, getting QSLs is a
fairly common practice. The book was a little old (printed in the
early 90's), so I'm not sure if that's still done.

Thanks.

Hey David:
You may be interested in my shortwave radio weblog (http://cobaltpet.blogspot.com/), where I post reception reports (descriptions of stations that I have received and what they were broadcasting), and photos of QSL cards that I have received. I submit QSL requests to most stations via email.

Prime time shortwave (http://www.primetimeshortwave.com) is a handy site because it lists a current schedule for many shortwave stations broadcasting in english and listed with their target region (for example: north america, asia, europe, africa). So you can go there and look for broadcasts to North America by the Voice of Russia. In particular the page I use the most is http://www.primetimeshortwave.com/time.html .
