   I am interested in listening to SW and I would like to get a good
   portable radio. So far the only discussion I have seen has been on
   the Sony ICF-2002 and ICF-7600. Are there any other radios out there
   I should consider? I don't know anything about short wave so I am not
   sure what I should look for. Also if I can still find a Sony ICF-6500
   is it a good radio to get. I know it has an LCD display but does it 
   have quartz lock tuning?  Since I am new to this I am not even sure
   if I should be looking at portables or a base unit. Any and all 
   suggestions will be greatly appreciated. If there are any books or 
   magazines I should read to help me get started let me know. Thanks.
