Hi,

I'm living in a fairly large college dorm and I feel as though, as a
consequence, my Grundig FR-200 is not able to pick up what it otherwise
might. Considering that around 400-500 college students live here and
remembering that college student = laptop / desktop + television +
stereos + who knows what else. . . Do you think this would make a
significant difference? Am I living in shortwave hell?


There's an easy way to find out. Walk out of your dorm with your
radio, find an empty field, and listen to the radio. Any better or
worse than your dorm listening? You won't know until you compare.
