I'm trying not to get too worked up about it, but it's insane that they picked the Satellit 650 for the "Hall of Fame" instead of the Sony 7600 series, a revolutionary radio that was truly portable (615 grams) with great reception. The 7600 was also (not coincidentally) the all-time top selling shortwave radio and was in production for over 40 years (1977-2018).

- lb1lf 8y agoOooh, The ICF-7600GR. Bought one in Vantaa Helsinki Airport on my way to Russia almost 20 years ago to be able to listen to news I could understand while there. (After having lusted for one for ages, me being an intrepid DXer since late primary school an' all - drooling over the ads in every edition of the WRTH which arrived at my local library. (I suspect at my request - I seem to recall I only found references to my library card in the borrower list in the back of the book...) Still listen to the 7600 almost daily - even as SW stations dwindle and the (lack of) solar activity does nothing to help matters, I still get excellent reception of the BBC World Service here on the west coast of Norway. (Which, much to my puzzlement, I still prefer to listen to on HF, even though it is available on DAB+, too...)
