I am west of rt 19 near the water just before Klosterman and Alt 19 and yes
I do SWL and reception here is very good with 80-foot random longwire
(end-fed Pal magnetic balun) which I take into a preamp that splits to 2
shortwaves. Cannot complain about SW reception at all, it is great. Just
frustrated because Pinellas talk groups are outdated it seems and I have no
idea who is where or who I am listening to. Pasco was much simpler, I think
I'll move back. Traffic was better there too

Just too many TGs that are
unidentified. Can't hear Hillsborough very well either. Now that's with
stock antenna on 780 XLT remember

Are you east of rt 19?

Also, do you have any experience with short wave radio....how is
reception?
