[Robert Fisher]

Oh the pirates on 6925 kHz and thereabouts can be entertaining. As are the "end of times" broadcasters.....

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...
