Thanks, Bob, for the information on the skywave radio. I am thinking about
purchasing one, but still haven't made up my mind. 

Bob, do you get on 40 meters? It would be nice to set-up a schedule some
time, maybe one day this next week.

I have the CC skywave radio.  It is quite a little radio and very sensitive,
but it will overload on shortwave if your near a powerful AM station.

You can type in the frequency you want to go to and it has variable band
width on am.  It will receive stereo FM if you use a headphone but it will
not receive ssb or cw.  In order to type in a frequency, you must hit the
upper right button in the number pad to enter frequency mode.  
The number buttons are usually set to go to a numbered memory.  I find the
radio very accessible.
