J.T., thanks for the recommendation on the Kaito. One question for you, Have you been able to pick up anything on the shotwave bands? Seems to me like every SW radio I pick up, I cannot, for the life of me, pick anything up. I guess I'm not holding my head right or something.

Okay so I just quickly scanned through the two shortwave bands but didn't get a whole lot. On shortwave 1 i picked up a political station (I'm assuming political because they were talking about Obama but I only listened for about half a minute) and then I picked up another broadcast that sounded like it was in spanish but couldn't tell for sure as there was alot of static. Didn't get anything on shortwave 2 except for static but at one point it sounded like I was starting to get something.

Thanks for testing that out. Thats what I needed to know if you could even get anything from it. The ones I've tried (they were big name brands also) never gave me anything. I'll read up on what it takes to get a better reception for SW in some of my HAM radio books. Again, thanks for testing it out (at one point I thought SW was a Myth :razz:
