Hi Guys,

I also was an SWL'er as a kid but haven't done much of it recently 
because most of my rigs over the years have been Ham band only.
I did, however order my K3 with the General Coverage option. I am also 
very impressed with the great sound when a good pair of tabletop
speakers are added to the rig. I have done a limited amount of searching 
at night between 40 and 80 meters. In the day I have looked a bit between
30 and 15 meters. I have had a hard time finding interesting English 
language programming. Which brings me to the question, for those of you 
that enjoy
SWL'ing, what are your favorite programs. What Freq are they on and 
when? I did stumble across a Morning show from an African Station one 
evening late here in Ca.
I think they were in Zimbabwe. They had traffic reports, financial 
reports  and a couple of guys joking around in between, just like a 
drive time show here in the
states I found it fascinating. So what do you SWL'ers listen to?

Sorry if this is Off Topic or too long,

Bob  K6GGO
