I've been listeining to WBZ and Chicago, 780 am nightly for a few days. Chicago early in the morning hasold time radio shows so earlier in the week I get to listen to them on Toronto 740 and the Chicago. On SW Radio China in english. Interesting to hear the Chinese and Canadian/US versions of the Chinese news. Last Friday also got a lock on Japan but the station was just switching over to kid's music so I listened only for a couple of minutes.
I am using the Eton S350DL. I did try my old Candle am/fm/sw on batteries just to see if it could pick up China and it did a really good job in getting it but as the entire 4-12mc scale is about 6 inches, things get tight in the trying to get stations concentrated in the 5.5-6.8mc range. Also makes one remeber the old days of staying on the tuning knob as it does drift. The Eton has a 25" wire and the Candle only has the whip so I was really impressed by the Candle's performance. It also does well on getting WBZ and Chicago on AM.
