My Dad just passed away, one thing I made sure to grab was his radio. He's been using this for years and we would listen to SW bands when we lived overseas and I was a kid. I always loved listening to the radio, I have been listening to it today to remember him.

I would like to know is my shortwave radio good or is it a piece of junk? I can pick up many shortwave stations but it not very powerful.
