In special appreciation of the timely Canadian assistance in starting the
Ultralight Radio Boom, several fully aligned new SRF-59 units have been
prepared for "rapid deployment" to our Canadian friends. If you are a
Canadian AM
DXer and would like one of these special units, please contact me off-list and
it will be sent promptly. This special offer also applies to those
Canadians who received one of the "Canadian Special Mission" SRF-59's that
were sent
out around Christmas, before we were able to perform full service-manual
alignments. It is strongly recommended that those SRF-59's be returned for
full
alignments, or that they be replaced by one of the new units, with the old
units returned for full service-manual alignments.
As Rob Ross of London, Ontario has discovered, there is a significant
difference in sensitivity between a factory unit and a service-manual aligned
unit. After performing 16 of these full alignments, I have seen major
improvements in sensitivity in 10 units, minor improvements in 4 units, and
marginal improvements in 2 units. There has not yet been a factory SRF-59
that has
not had some sensitivity improvement gained by full alignment.
Of course, every SRF-59 DXer (American and Canadian) deserves the
maximum sensitivity possible for DXing success, and as more technicians offer
their services for full service-manual alignments, this will become a reality.
