Yes you need an external antenna but nothing really sophisticated, locate local hams and SW enthusiasts inc. Radio Shack, they’ll steer you to get you up and listening. During this next reign, SW may be our source of real info.
Thanks. I believe he bought it at Radio Shack, so I’ll head over there, one of these days.
In 1991, shortwave radio was the only way to get info on Whitewater and the McDougals, Troupergate, Hillary's billing practice etc. The media did not ever, ever mention any of that. It was the only way to find out the truth at that time.
If you're just going to listen you don't need an external aerial--just a radio with sw bands. See the Shortwave Store.
