I've gotten some great opinions from several people whom have way more knowledge then I do, but I just want to open this up and see what everyone else uses. Since I scored 74.3 percent on my technician class practice test, I want to get a base HF Transciever. Even if I can't operate on much of the HF bands, I still want to be able to listen to them. Plus, down the line, I want the capability to transmit in HF and not have to buy another radio. I really like the ICOM IC746Pro based upon some pretty glowing comments about it from a few people. Problem is, brand new.. it's really more then I feel comfortable spending... its anywhere between $800 and $1000. I have no plans to do CW. My biggest concerns are GOOD audio and ability to handle weak signals really good. I've had a few base/desktop HF listening rigs before and the audio is what I call "utility".. a bit rough, and I need better then that. I know what I would feel comfortable with and have no problem spending, $500 to $600. Can some folks offer some thoughts and opinions?

(DReaM on; still waiting for any US SW station to take the plunge even as an experiment). 11580, May 29 at 1400, WRMI instead of resuming `World Music` after 3 days of testing the Rwanda program via Radio Africa, starts playing a hymn, opening a Church of Christ program from Dallas. I`m afraid the last(?) hour of reliable W.M. fill is now gone from WRMI, but it must mean business is booming at RMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 17775, May 29 at 1402, KVOH is still propagating as early as sign-on, S9 signal with praise music in Spanish, but distorted modulation and breaks in it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 15760, May 28 at 1602, WHRI has bumped Brother Scare for scary Indianapolis 500 broadcast; still going at 1833 check, mentioning ``hit the wall head-on`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. We are into the peak of the summer sporadic-E season, so I keep an eye on the channel 2 NTSC snow, for anything, like Cuba or double-hop from further Latin America, but nothing so far. Also an eye on the 6m Es maps, frequently with lots of lines, contacts across various parts of North America, but OK is often just beyond the affected area, or in the middle of it, both of which mean no DX reaching here. Conditions look barely favorable May 28 at 2200 UT, so out to the porch for a bandscan on the PL-880 and RDS-capable DX-398: 88.1, at 2206 UT, rap music with Es fading in & out; neither Okie would be doing that; 2209 RDS reads METERMAI, presumably part of a song or artist name; 2218 RDS says BIKE_FOR; again rap at 2231.

His show is on schedule for 6-6:30 pm EDT Sundays; otherwise mostly jazz format. WTFDA DB shows WNCU without any suffix, so which is it?
