[QUOTE="GeneW, post: 2434471, member: 27284"] There just isn't as much shortwave broadcasting as there used to be. Ever since the internet became commonplace many countries and operators have either greatly limited or shut down their shortwave operations. Yeah, I'm showing my age. I'm in my mid-50's, I hold an extra class ham radio license, and I have some short wave radios from the 1980's and 1990's. Don't let my remarks discourage you, there is still some good shortwave, but it's not as much as it used to be. To answer your question, look for Grundig, excellent quality radio. You can even find really good used ones on EBAY. Sony is also good. I'm looking at some a solar panel or two, plus a couple of storage deep cycle/RV batteries, etc, to operate my radio station. It's a great hobby, glad to hear you are interested in it. Good luck to you. Gene [/QUOTE]
