Russ, I’m already violating the terms you put out there. But here goes:
1.) The Sangean PR-D5 (Not really ultralight, but portable for sure.) 2.) My pocket-sized Sony SRF-T615 The SRF-T615 for me is the pure sense of what an “ultralight” really is. Sure you can modify a lot of small radios, and add massive unwieldy antennas that will pull in great DX. But they’re hardly ultralight. The SRF-T615 is not just pocket-sized, it’s almost invisible and yet pulls in great DX on the AM band. It’s selective, and very sensitive. I listen to mine every night while walking the dogs, and consistently log new stations while doing so. It’s hard to find here, and expensive—but a wonder. For those of us who don’t live on the coasts, performance in logging domestic stations is key. That’s a very different challenge than logging odd-frequency splits. 73, Les N1LF Les Rayburn, director High Noon Media Services 130 1st Avenue West Alabaster, AL 35007-8536 205-621-7500 205-621-7505 FAX 205-253-4867 CELL highnoonfilm.com [This message and any attached documents contain information from the sender that may be confidential and/or privileged.
