No offense, but in the spirit of the original question, is that barefoot or
with the FSL ?  Because that changes almost everything in terms of that
kind of distance.

It's a tie!

Or the

Both are Hawaii tested!

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Ultralight "poll" / question

2016-10-05 Thread Les Rayburn 
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
