Hi and thx for visiting,
I startet up my hobby in the 80s with CB DXing and a Sony ICF-6800W, that worked fine with my garden 11m-vertikal. I got a very early version of a Bonito Radio-Comm module for the C64, that helped me receive the digital modes receptable at that time.
After a long break with this nice hobby I decided to sell my still fine working Sony last year, but found a very nice almost unused FRG-8800 which made me start again having fun in shortwave listening as DL0072SWL.
After some trial and errors with antennas I now have a small but good working equipment.
