Man, and the shortwave radios are all relatively cheap!  You can get a badass mofo for like $150. 

Ebay has this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=120374206814&Category=39993

$289's certainly not "cheap", but what a cool looking radio!

Heh.  Oh, nubbins.  I can tell that your future will be spent in the garden shed out back with the 50 foot antenna rising from it, playing chess with the last surviving Japanese POW in Siberia.

Pretty much... I've given up on trying to get laid, so naturally I spend all my money on electronics and crazy, hermit shit that will keep me entertained well into my 40's.

I do the same.  Except, with no money to spend, my answer is debating whether or not I should watch every episode of Coronation Street.

Just think... you could broadcast Coronation Street to Siberia by bouncing a signal off the moon!

I'm listening to air traffic.  Why is this entertaining?  I have no idea.

NICE!  I love that chart.  I don't think I've ever seen it laid out that way.

and yeah, this is the first step to a ham license.  It's the one I've always balked on, which seems silly now that I think of it.
