While not a feature rich radio, I&#8217;m surprised at how well it does.  Two nights ago I enjoyed listening to a news program on Iranian radio.  Reception was pretty solid and the propaganda reminded me of when I used to listen to Radio Moscow as a kid.  Last night I tuned in to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sr.se\/rs\/english\/\">Radio Sweden<\/a> for their half hour English language broadcast.
