Short wave radio

plains scout

Any on this board into them?

I have always had an interest but never bit the bullet.

How hard and how useful is it to know how to use one to transmit?

Also, if I just wanted one to listen to broad casts what you recommend?

I have the radio, just for backup, shortwave radio can be picked up over the internet, if you have speakers of coarse.

Dunno if Art Bell is doing shortwave, but he's been off legitimate airwaves for many years. He made his millions and, from what I understand, still lives in a double-wide outside of Parumph NV.

I've got a shortwave. I've not turned in on in years... in fact I was thinking about E-Baying it.

When TSHTF you will need shortwave to get instructions from the resistance.. "John has a long moustache" "Mary doesnt shave her legs" "The chicken dies at midnight"

LOL okay. Or, we can just use cellphones.

Try http://www.primetimeshortwave.com/time.txt for what's on, when and what frequency. My personal favorite for news and features is The Voice of Russia- check www.vor.ru for info. I've been listening to them since I was a kid.
