It's a little sad to say, but frequently, not always, but frequently, the 
older radios will serve you very well and sometimes better then many of the 
new ones.  GE Super Radio I and II...and III if you  can get it realigned.  
CCRADIO, and may others that I am sure others of the IRCA can tell you from 
their own experience.

Listen to what interests you.  Faint, far away, low power grave yard 
frequencies, outside the US.  Everyones interests are a little different, but 
I think that we all feel that surge of excitment, sparked by that faint, 
signal in the night.
