[TriLUG] Digital AM/FM/LW SSB SW Radio

[John Mitchell]

Hello John,

   Looking at the Degen 1103 reviews I would say that is a good buy for
your first radio. This will let you find out if you really, really want
that $500 rig.

   I use a little Sony ICF-SW15, comes in handy for power failures!

and sometimes SWL on this unit:

Do you show up at Trilug meetings?
