I am listening to WBCQ on short wave right now.

What brand Short Wave do you have?

Would you recommend CC Crain short wave radios?

I think Short Wave is good to have and will get one.

Thanks!

Fair warning. There is not a lot of content out on the airwaves anymore. SW is mostly religious broadcasters and Hams nowadays.
Though there are still interesting things out there.

I use a Grundig Millennium Sattelit 800 and a Ten Tec rx320 as my main receivers.

They are both a bit pricey and the grundig 800 is no longer made.

The Kaito 1103 is a great portable and is about $80
The Tecsun pl660 Is a great portable as well. I think they can be had for about $70

I really liked this one till some one broke into my truck and stole it last month.

CC Crane generally just rebrands radios with their name.

I think you would be happy with this.

The Kaito 1103 is an outstanding radio. My only gripe with it is that it does not have a dedicated volume control and it does not display the time while it is on.
Its performance as a radio is excellent, even stunning.
