[Scan-DC] New shortwave receiver

[Ed Tobias]

You could always listen to the ham bands....but the conversations on SSB are 
pretty boring these days.  The REAL conversationalists are doing it at 25+ 
wpm on CW....but you'd have to learn to speak CW first!

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
