[IRCA] Sony SRF-59 Walkman Review Completed

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     Thanks to the IRCA members and others who have  expressed interest in 
the DX capabilities of the tiny Sony SRF-59 Walkman, which  has sensitivity and 
selectivity fully adequate for occasional TP reception,  here on the west 
coast.
 
     Because of Colin Newell's original  suggestion, and the generous 
assistance provided by Nick Hall-Patch, a  detailed 4-page review on this astonishing 
little radio was completed recently,  and is now posted on the excellent 
dxer.ca web site.  The review covers the  Walkman's construction, circuitry, 
performance (relative to the ICF-SW7600GR,  ICF-2010 and ICF-S5W), and TP DXing 
tactics (explaining the loggings of  JOAK-594, JOIB-747 and HLCA-972 on this $16 
radio).
 
     A separate "Mighty Mite" comparison including  the SRF-59, SRF-M37V, 
Sangean DT200VX and ICF-S10Mk2 will be written shortly,  and it is hoped that 
such exposure will motivate other TP (and TA) DXers to give  these remarkable 
little radios a try.
 
                                                                              
      73 and Best Wishes,
 
                                                                              
      Gary DeBock
