I'll tell you one thing..... If you got that radio for LW, don't
expect to hear much.  Longwave (150 - 400 KHz) isn't used for
broadcasting in North America but it is used in Europe.
If you're lucky, you MIGHT hear NDR (NordDeutcher Rundfunk -
North German Radio) at around 151 Khz.
I got a DX-160 20 years ago, and all I heard was beacons and
bleed-through from strong local medium-wave broadcasters.
Know this:  Unless they say otherwise, all times you hear on
shortwave broadcasts are given in Greenwich Mean Time.
I believe Florida (Eastern _Standard_ Time) is 5 hours behind
Greenwich time.
One strong station you should be able to hear is Radio Netherland.
Tune to 6.165 MHz (in the 49 meter hand) at 21:30 you local time
(same as 05:30 GMT) for their daily English-language broadcast
meant for the Eastern part of north America.
They have a relay transmitter on Bonaire (Netherlands Antiiles).
