Grundig’s New S450DLX – Almost A Great New Radio
Grundig’s new S450DL is the successor to their popular S350DL and it has been improved in several key areas. However I found some problems which I hope Eton will iron out so the promise of this new model can be realized.
We waited a long time but it was well worth it. Jay and Russ take individual looks at C.Crane’s latest offering.
Here’s another Nostalgia Radio fix-up and evaluation. The CRF-5100 Earth Orbiter was Sony’s answer to the Zenith Royal 7000 and R-7000 Trans-oceanics. It was an exciting discovery for me and I hope you will enjoy reading about it. And please check out my other Nostalgia Radio articles under the Nostalgia Radio tab.

Millions of North Koreans listen to dozens of foreign radio broadcasts transmitted by Japan, South Korea and the U.S., and the number is growing.
This is according to Peter Beck, a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, who said that it is quite a phenomenon given that Pyongyang authorities distribute only radios with fixed dials, block foreign broadcasts, and imprison citizens caught listening to foreign radio for as long as 10 years.

Samm the Ham Hero Faces Fight Over Radio Tower
Another article about kid with cerebral palsy and his fight to keep his tower. The one thing that this article mentions that the others did not is that his father is also a ham. Think about it. The funny thing is that the neighbors are complaining about RFI. Well I have a news flash for the neighbors… taking down the tower is not going to fix the RFI problem.
