Listen Around the World - No Internet Required (HF & Shortwave on RTL SDR)

Listen to HF and Shortwave with an RTL SDR dongle. I've received many questions if this can be done, and the short answer is "yes". Aside from quickly showing what settings to use in the free software (SDR# aka SDR Sharp), I'm using this opportunity to show off a cool little loop antenna I picked up from Amazon for $50. If you weren't sold on SDR capabilities before, perhaps this video will put you over the edge LOL. Enjoy.
