I (Tony the Balloon Guy) recently received a shortwave radio receiver, and I love it.
Listening to broadcasts from all over the world is something I used to really enjoy when I was younger, and it’s just as interesting today.
I was already able to hear regular international programs on Sirius/XM’s World Radio Network, but there is additionally something fun about hunting through the static to find an exotic broadcast unexpectedly. Like when I made a crystal radio set as a kid in Wisconsin and immediately picked up an AM station out of Little Rock. Wow!
I’m such a radio nerd!
Have a fun day!
