My new mini shortwave radio would be fun if I could get shortwave stations on it - however it's just as much fun figuring out which DX AM stations I can get. I was surprised at how far away I am getting stations from: the italic numbers are distance from Toronto in km.
Of course I can only listen between 11pm and 6am, but because it's Dr. Laura and/or all news stations, I'm not really missing out. I don't mind a kooky late night show about UFO sightings, but haven't found one yet. My fave 11pm-1am host on CFRB is moving to another time, so I will be free to listen to shortwave & DX AM as of next week.
Looking at the map, I want to try some listening at night for AM stations when I'm in Newfoundland next!
I think my shortwave station frequencies and times need to be looked up on the internet again... it's been about a year since i last figured out any shortwave listening stuff.

I was pricing radios today. I fact I need all new electronics soon... You know how much they were asking for an am fm with cd player...700. I am sure it could not get that kind of range either.
