RM> I'll tell you one thing..... If you got that radio for LW, don't

RM> If you're lucky, you MIGHT hear NDR (NordDeutcher Rundfunk -

    I've never been able to hear anything on LW.

    Yes.
    The best thing he could do if his radio lacks a digital clock is to buy a 
$10 digital clock to sit next to it.
RM> One strong station you should be able to hear is Radio Netherland.
RM> Tune to 6.165 MHz (in the 49 meter hand) at 21:30 you local time
RM> (same as 05:30 GMT) for their daily English-language broadcast
RM> meant for the Eastern part of north America.
    Or the BBC hourly news every hour, 5.975 MHz.
