I haven't used my shortwave reciever for at least 10 years. I don't know if I'd get very good signals with all the computer equipment on.

I used to listen regularly when I lived overseas. Not anymore.

thats HAM (amature) radio. My call sign is KB0OGT

with shortwave all you have is a receiver, but since he is a HAM his receiver picks up the shortband freqs.

Yes we SWL frequently and the longwire on the ship is superb.
