[Scan-DC] New shortwave receiver

[Doug Kitchener via Scan-DC]

Glad this thread got started, because a couple of years ago now I bought one of those Grundig Eton G3 sw radios that we've talked about here - it's in the other room and I can't remember what bands it covers - but... I've never been able to hear much of anything on it on the sw bands... not that I've messed with it much... so, what's some good things I should be trying to listen to on it?  I just looked up the specs, apparently covers 150 - 30,000 KHz with SSB, plus the aircraft band as well as broadcast... by the way, tone quality is excellent, I do use it to listen to broadcast...

thx

Doug
