Thanks for your answers, Ron.  I hope others chime in as I would like to know what to look for in the short wave bands.  I remember as a kid listening to my dad's Majestic with bands up to 22 mhz and my brothers Philco 14 with 1 short wave band.  I thought it was cool and wanted to get my Ham licence some day.  But as I continued to listen the chatter, i discovered it was just about equipment and signal strength.  I soon got bored and quit listening.

Now you are going to get very disturbed with me!  Here are the pics (over the next 3 posts) of the communications equipment at the estate sale.  Your dream was there for under $300.  Sorry, I just didn't know!
