I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Just Got a Tecsun PL-880 Short Wave Radio

I guess I need a new high tech toy. I have been a radio enthuisast for many years, but my interests have been most in AM/FM and recently internet radio. I have been more involved in following trends in music radio formats. Some years ago I bought an inexpensive short wave radio and dabbled with it for a few years This time I am going to try to be more serious about it. The reviews I read about this Tecsun PL-880 radio were very positive, so I will have to take time to learn how to use it and find broadcasts from all over the world.
