Hi Guys: I managed to do a bit of late afternoon DX'ing on the SRF-59 today, while waiting for the Wife to get home from work.
Managed to add 5 more stations to the SRF-59 Logbook bringing the Total heard now to 130 Stations. I have yet to sit down with this Radio and not get something new to add to the SRF-59 Logbook ....and quite often I am adding to the Total Heard on any Radio Logbook as well. The more I tune around with this thing......the more I wonder just what is or isn't possible with this Radio. I'm having some problems trying to figure out what frequency I am on at the TOP END of the Band as it is squished up pretty good there. The bottom end is no problem as there's a fair amount of space between stations. Man..I sure wish this radio had Digital Readout.....I think I'd have another 100 stations by now!! I was joking about hitting 200 stations after I got 100 in 3 days.....now it doesn't seem that far fetched that we can hit 200....and maybe a lot more with some hours at the dials. I know I can listen to any of the myriad of Receivers I own .........all highend stuff and of course complete with Digital Readout...and a host of other compliments....but Man....it just ain't as much fun as logging them with this crazy little bugger!!!!! Maybe it just reminds me of laying in bed as a kid listening to my Transistor Radio in the 60's and 70's....I'm not sure. Bottom line is.....I'm having Fun....and I'm hearing some neat stuff. Spent more time DX'ing this past week than I have in years!! Marching on to #200 with the SRF-59..... 73.ROB. Robert S. Ross VA3SW Box 1003, Stn. B.
