player2 posted:EDIT: Are shortwave radios generally only available for online ordering besides lucky pawn shop finds? I'd love to browse models in a brick-and-mortar store, but it seems that they are a bit specialized for that. I live in Portland, Oregon, sort of a bigger city; is it possible that I might find a store here that sells nice models? Check out http://www.hamradio.com/web/stores/portland.html Their website is awful, but they have a decent selection of SW radios; more than Circuit City or Radio Shack or anybody else is going to have.

Hi guys! I haven't been doing much HF stuff lately. I've mostly been playing with my scanners. MY GIRLFRIEND just bought me one of these little Radioshack antennas the other day for some reason http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103641 Hopefully I'll be able to pick up some sort of mast material after work and get it up today. Just dangling it on the back porch, I've already heard some things I've never heard even though they've been programmed in the radio for years.

Haven't really been able to do much listening for a while. Just popping in to say I've continued to find awesome stuff at the thrift store for super cheap. $10:

Not shortwave at all but none of my friends care and I want to tell SOMEBODY. I found a Tivoli Model One at the thrift store for $9. It's the Platinum Edition which means it costs $50 more because it's ~~Really Shiny~~. The tuning was awful and loud so I opened it up to clean the tuner and discovered that all four posts that the screws that hold it together thread into were snapped off. Also there were a bunch of dried out broken rubber bands inside. So I cleaned the tuner and found some long screws that would reach the now shorter posts and put it back together and it sounds GREAT. But yeah a $200 radio is held together with rubber bands.  Dog Case fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Oct 10, 2012 |
