Anybody else here admit to owning/using these?
If so then perhaps a thread to discuss kit and listeninng experience.
Just dug out and begun using my Lowe HF250 HF/Comms receiver. Currently connected to a long random wire running from study window to pergola at end of garden. Maybe 25 metres. Picking up Oceanic ATC from Shanwick and at night Santa Maria (Azores) and Gander/New York as well as Shannon and Gander/NY Volmet. Briefly in evenings I'm picking up something on another Volmet frequency shared between Sydney, Singapore and a few other places. Spoken in Oz accent but mostly referring to airfields in 'Indo China' etc.
Also got a list of a dozen or so NDB (MF airnav beacons) which give me some practice in listening to morse.
My other sets are an ancient Yupiteru VT225 used mainly for airband and a Sony Wavehawk also airband but covers marine too.
