Sounds like the man needs a copy of "A DXer's Technical Guide", 
Doug,  but I'm biased.  Off the top of my head, of available 
receivers, AR7030, maybe Icom R75 (is the R8x still 
available?).....and Flag / Ewe antennas can be very helpful if 
interference is concentrated in one or two quadrants.   But, it's all 
in the book.

If he wants to be ambitious, maybe forward him the couple of recent 
technical columns on Software Defined Radios...

best wishes,

Nick
