Well, I think I'm just going to go with a modern, portable SWL receiver
for now. There are several very interesting models that are quite cheap. New prices are about $150 for the newest and best of them. I appreciate all the input and encouragement. I built my first 'Manhatten' constructed circuit this week - a VFO for the BITX20 transceiver. The good news it oscillates, the bad news is not at the right frequency or the right spread but I've got an online buddy helping me out and if nothing, I got off of dead center. I'm just excited that it worked at all - AND - that I understand most of it and how it works. I'm pretty sure I will understand it all before I'm finished. If you're intersted the radios I'm looking at are the Eton E5, Sony ICF-SW7600G & GR, Degen/Kaito DE-1103 and a couple of other oddballs. Hopefully I can snag one off of eBay. Thanks again.
