I didn ' t say the concept is new . I said the concept of putting 18 consecutive pops , most of which retired , instead of just the wave the pop is considered to be included in such as Wave 1 for Batman variations is new , at least for me . <| sep |> LG is one of the biggest IPS panel manufacturer . Their panels are in iMacs , in lots of laptops , in lots of monitors . They basically make a , say , 27 1440 p panel . They offer it for sale and , say , Acer makes a control board , calibrates it to their liking and now we have an Acer monitor mind you , Acer at one point was branding F 1 engines so . 😉 doesn ' t mean anything bad of LG or Acer anyway <| sep |> I didn ' t cry when they crushed your skull in with that bat . <| sep |> Throw up a long wire at least 5070 ' horizontally to a tree or something high up outdoors with some kind of insulator inbetween rope , PVC with holes drilled , etc , don ' t worry if it has to come through a low floor or basement , and pound in a ground rod outside , or tie your antenna ground to one available outside . Your wall socket screw may already run to a ground rod somewhere outside so try that too . Keep the dial on 6925 kHz and move around that range on the weekends in the evening and watch out for pirate broadcasts . Also you can ' t beat WBCQ which is on multiple frequencies . Google is your friend here . I ' ve been an SWLer for over a decade and for me a lot of the magic is lost now because all those weird noises that used to be a mystery to me are now known data transmissions or modes that I learned about , but that was half the fun ! It ' s a learning hobby . Also when you go deeper into it you can connect the audio jack output into your computer and use decoding software to decode all kinds of digital data modes , along with amateur radio CW and RTTY and even slow scan TV SSTV . There is a lot of fun to be had , but your first focus should be the aerial . The wire in the sky is more important than anything connected to it rule # 1 . Other things to tune into is hams on various frequencies which you will have to look up what frequency ranges they use , military , maritime , illegal broadcasts like pirates , drug smugglers , boaters , stuff like number stations , and the real odd stuff that even those of us in the know can ' t explain . One last thing . Nice radio ! I have a DX 398 myself , also rebadged as the ATS 909 and I hear the Sat 500 sits in the same category of rebellious classic great portable radios .
