Shortwave radio tutorial

[Rich]

Is anyone except for the OP interested in Short Wave (SW) radio listening?

I suppose this topic got me doing some google searches.

There are some very inexpensive but very powerful SDR adapters available for your computer now, just connect them with a USB cable and add a wire for an antenna, then you can listen to just about everything! Or you can use the links I provided previously to listen a bit using someone else's computer.

The unit to get for your own computer is this item: www.sdrplay.com

Note you can purchase these in Salem, NH at HRO (Ham Radio Outlet), I don't have one, but I may get one as they can listen to just about anything you could imagine, including SW, some police, fire, FM, AM, marine, aircraft frequencies, etc.

Here's a quirky/nerdy but quick and slightly amusing youtube minor review of one of these SDRPlay units:
