Last night I bought a portable shortwave/AM/FM world band radio from Food Lion (who would have thought?) in Fayetteville for $2.49. Cheaper than a gallon of milk. Hopefully it will be able to pick up my favourite radio station, CBC/Radio-Canada International, from Raeford. I tried it just now, and I'm not picking up anything too interesting, but I guess it's because I'm sitting near a whole bunch of high frequency wave-emitting devices (cordless phone, cellphone, wireless router).
