Grundig S350DL Shortwave Radio (Feild Randomwire) 1 of ?

Grundig S350DL with Randomwire Antenna.
In a sporatic early christmas shopping spree, and having been in the mood to buy myself an insanely selfish ammount of man toys, i bought the Grundig S350DL. Shorwave Radio has been a growing interest of mine over the last few years. I tried the slinky antenna but it seemed to do me more harm than good, So I settled on the Randomwire Antenna. I live in an apartment complex North of San Antonio and this area is a wooded portion of a near-by park. The 100 ft of wire was five dollars at Radio Shack, alligator clips were 99 cents and the Radio was just under a Benjamin. The drift problem is true but all you need to do is get it to stay on a freq for more than a couple of seconds and it will lock the frequency until you adjust the tuner again. I'm very pleased with it. It's brought me hours upon hours of fun and enjoyment.

@midonda - That's 2145 UTC, meaning that's the time in London. If you listen to the video at 1:33 you'll hear his local time is very different.

I don't understand how it can be that bright outside at 2145 hours?

1:03 ufo wtf????

The display is digital, but is the tuning digital too? If it is analog, then does it drift a lot?

Thanks

Jesus man, you said the video had to do with a radio. Less tiptoe in the bush.

This model is called a "field radio" and you took that quite literally by taking it to a field! Thank you for sharing, very cool!
