Yah' it only takes a few weeks to realize that radio sweden,japan,the bbc 
radio deutsh (sp) welle,canada,france are the easiest to receive i suggest to 
anybody who's into listening to far away stations get the passport to swling 
-1998-that will let you know for sure if you are listening to a station 
actually being b-cast from canada or say singapore
i myself don't send for qsl cards-but log far away b-cast and find this book 
very enlightning (sp) to what you are actually hearing *
