This IS a great hobby! I have been into it for 25 years (off and on)! A great technical pursuit as well as cultural. Learning programming of other countries gives you an appreciation of what is important to them. I have travelled to 65 countries since 1990 with my employer, Merck, and this gives me special understanding of what I hear (when I can understand) the language.
I picked up a used JRC NRD-525 from the now-defunct Gilfer Associates, at the 1996 SWL Fest. In addition, I grabbed a Dressler ARA60 active antenna. Since then I've added a trusty long wire. I will try to keep a set of links to some great shortwave radio related stuff below:
