Nice to hear almost 1,000 miles away. Shortwave is often better than relying on the Internet for news. Nice radio and a great signal! :)!

Yes, sounds like local.

Amazing how clear that is - and the receiver you're using to pick that up looks like new. Not bad for something nearly the same age as myself! It doesn't matter how digitised the world seems to get - I feel there will always be a need for shortwave, especially if there are major internet outages.

Panasonic RF series were known for its great speakers. And especially this with big one and good tone control.
