Re: [IRCA] UltraLight name proposal

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Colin and Others,
 
     When Kevin suggested the "Ultralight" name (after  concurrence from Paul 
Walker and others), I felt it sounded great, but was  concerned it might be 
confused with cigarettes, aircraft, or something  else.  I really like the 
name, and it has caught on very deeply, making it  quite probably a term that will 
sweep the AM-DX community.  However, in  formal references (like the Shootout 
Reviews), there should always be a "Radio"  after the "Ultralight," to avoid 
confusion, I think.
 
     To make matters more interesting, Sony has come up  with the incredible 
SRF-T615, and Sangean has developed the DT-180V, both of  which are the size 
of a cigarette lighter.  Consequently, I am already  hearing these super-small 
pocket radios referred to as "Ultralighters,"  hi.
 
                                                                              
                     73,  Gary
