In Reply to: RE: Does anyone here at the Vintage Asylum listen to Shortwave? posted by Brian McGowan on July 01, 2009 at 14:08:34
Still have my old Hammarlund HQ-140X, which is a great old receiver, but since I have this tree that's constantly dropping big limbs on my outdoor longwire, I kinda got tired of fixing it constantly & more or less gave up.
Anyway, you got a good one. The Drake R8 was a top-rated receiver & supposedly had great fidelity. If I were going to listen to worldwide SW broadcasts, I'd probably refrain from listening through the stereo, since the stereo system will likely show all the many warts of shortwave reception.
There are some amplified indoor antennas, but I'm not sure how effective they'd be. If I could find a good one, or a really good small whip antenna to mount outside, I'd probably get one myself.
Cheers & have fun,
Bobbo :-)
Before I got the Internet,I use to listen to the shortwave on a Zenith Transoceaonic from the 70's!but now I can not wait to listen to the Drake
R8 B!
