   Sounds like you've just had bad luck listening sessions. I've only had   
   the 40USD Sangean budget analog dial sw receivers and I still have some   
   pretty good listening sessions. I can often pick up programs from WBCQ   
   the planet, www.wbcq.com. And this helps enhance my hits    
    http://www.earthsignals.com/swfreqs.html   
   I still get some insteresting random hits, the Netherland, Japan, and Sweden   
   have had some interesting programming in English.
