Absolutely loving golden.

I'm sold. I'll be buying an E5/G5 within the next month.

I haven't been able to listen to very much yet. But the first thing I did find was one of those crazy preachers. Entertaining stuff!

Seriously, I love my new radio, but 75% of every station I pick up is a preacher. Pretty neat, but I need variety!

So far I'm getting broadcasts from Georgia and Florida. I got something in Spanish, but I have no idea if it was Cuban or American.

I'm figuring out what I can do antenna-wise. Probably not much until I move sometime.

I live in an apartment. I think I'm going to try to build a broomstick antenna.

Anybody familiar with these?

My question is, why haven't I heard anything on SSB yet?

I'm using an G5 in the middle of downtown Toronto. I regularly pull in broadcasts from Georgia and Florida, and maybe even Cuba (distances up to 1400 miles). But I've never heard a single thing over SSB. I thought I would be picking up HAMs or some crap like that. I'm using the telescoping antenna that came with the radio.

The Cuban number station is back at this momnet. 5.883 MHz, but this time I'm getting a ton of interference. :(

I get some religious show on 5.850 MHz and some preacher talking about VD on 5.890 MHz, but that's it right now.
