Hiya everyone, I am on the gold coast just south of Brisbane in Queensland
Australia
Just bought my shortwave radio a Sangean ats 505 . I am surprised at how
little I can pick up?
Anyone and good ideas to help me. I am lucky if I can get 5 stations in
total

Thanks for any help you can give
I used to have an old Russian shortwave that I bought in England and was
like a tank big CLUNK CLICK selector dial got great service off it but it
died after 30 years

Im pretty new to all this though
thanks
Steve



Tell us about your surroundings. Building your in?, city?, country? etc...
By the way is there an External/ Internal switch for the ant. on this radio?
