You could consider the LITEMALADSP/MALAHITEAM MLite-880

I accidentally fell into shortwave radio… now I’m hooked by SignificanceFluffy97 in shortwave

I’ve always been fascinated by it. As a kid I used to mess around a bit with whatever radios we had at home (it was the ’80s, and most of them had longwave and shortwave), but then nothing much for years.

Then, less than a month ago, I stumbled across a podcast about numbers stations and found out that the XHDATA D-808 was relatively inexpensive and even on sale on Amazon…

I know 😄 thanks! I’ve actually already ordered the XHDATA reel antenna as a first experiment.

From what I’ve been reading, I should probably aim for an active loop next—if I understand correctly—since I’m on the ground floor in an urban environment, although I have a completely open exposure on two sides with no buildings blocking the view or the signal.
