Which Receiver for BBC W/S & Radio 4?

[Dougal]

Had planned to install SSB this year, but too expensive, so it'll have to wait. Location: Bay of Biscay to Azores.... What receivers do i need to pick-up the BBC shipping forcast on R4, the for the BBC World Service?

Done some seaching, but keep comming up with 'subscription services' only!

Many thanks

Just get a Target HF3 ssb reciever, I've had one for years.
Simple and it works.
Bit like me I suppose.

Would this cover ALL necessary frequencies, or would we also need a SW radio?

30kHz to30MHz

Long wave is 100-300kHz

medium wave is 300kHz-1.6MHz

Short wave is 1.6mHz -30MHz

So all frequences that you want are covered.
