Where can I find a reasonably priced portable shortwave radio?

Question

I want to buy my dad one so he can listen to Chicago Cubs

in Florida. I prefer Amazon.com but will try elsewhere.

Thank you

Answer 1

Unless that game is broadcast on the VOA , (which is unlikely) you will not be able to pick up the game on a shortwave radio.

Shortwave is mostly used for external services , and as such carries little local sports events.

Of course they do have sports shows that have a wrap up of the bigger games....but rarely full broadcasts live.

Answer 2

There are many sites out there, but this is a good site:

This is a GREAT radio:
