Dan,

The secret to SW listening is knowing which band and when.

During the day, your best bands are 31m, 25m, 19m, 16m and 13m.

Evenings 49, 41, (the B band on this radio) and 31 are best. These bands are good during the day as well during the winter months. Lots of English language broadcasts still available from the likes of China Radio International, the BBC, etc. Even our despotic neighbor to my north has English language broadcasts Voice of Korea (as opposed to KBS world service out of S. Korea). Then of course there are the numerouse religious broadcasters and wingnuts out of the US. Icon_smile
