I posted some links to some entry level stuff that performs very well.

The Kaito 1103 receiver and Par end fedz antenna along with some Altec Lansing computer speakers

Be aware, that Shortwave is atmosphere dependent and right now propagation is lousy. Conditions change, since the earth and the Sun are not static.

If you like to learn and dont mind things that dont work the same way from day to day, but bring surprises when you least expect them, shortwave could be for you

Thank you for sending me this information. I appreciate it .
You know, when i was in high school , many moons ago there was a SW guy in my class. I was always curious about it then, this kid even got his parents to erect a tower in the backyard(residential suburbs). I’ve just always heard it’s a guy thing and had backed off because i didn’t want to be labelled, you know what i mean? I think it’s REALLY cool....and thanks again for sending me those links & i’ll check them out.
Sincerely,
MDGVT

mylife,
I just bought the Par end fedz antenna, thanks to your
heads up. I’m thinking of putting it up in the attic.

Thanks for the recommend!
