These frequencies are certified primary standards, as well, so the're as accurate as it gets. Any radio that can receive these frequencies would be fine, most short-wave sets can pick up 3 or more. Anyone have the correct frequencies if I'm off? Otherwise I can find out with a phone call. -- Dave Hinz - Opinions expressed are mine, not my employer's. Obviously.
