Yes, yes...we know. Sandy...we know that instead of counting sheep to get to sleep you count R-390s.
Seriously, though...there's a TON of good to great SW radios available both new and used. I have a $5 garage sale Grundig YB320 that does pretty decent, although the frequency coverage isn't quite complete. Then, there's my Sony ICF7600DS...paperback size, BFO...a good radio. Lots of bigger desktop rigs around, too...a vintage Yaesu FRG-7 can sometimes be had for a reasonable cost and is a good performer. Like tubes? Hallicrafters offered everything from the beginner S-38 to the Holy Grail SX-88 and a ton in between. I kinda like the SX-96, myself. Then there's National, Hammarlund...it's a lonnnng list. We'll all pitch in with opinions and advice for sure.
