[IRCA] doing time with a Sony SRF-39FP

["Mike Brooker" <aum108@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Received my SRF-39FP last Friday, so I am now the latest Canadian 
ultra-lighter.  As a serious DX machine, the jury is still out (appropriate 
phrase for a product intended for use by convicted felons).  Earlier this 
eveining I heard WRFD-880 in WCBS null on it, but that is not at all rare. 
I am actually quite impressed with the ability of something so small to be 
able to bring in, say, KYW-1060 with virtually no CHUM-1050 slop.  I don't 
think it will replace my G5, YB400 or RF-2200 as my primary receiver.  But I 
do plan to take it with me whenever I leave the house.  I can just throw it 
into my backpack or fanny pack and take it to work along with the cellphone 
and iPod, so I will never be without a DX-quality receiver, even if it's 
only to listen to Jim Rome on WGR-550 during my lunch hour.   I am planning 
to visit the Bay Area in June.  Along with an Athletics game and 
Cal-Berkeley campus visit, a tour of Alcatraz is likely in my plans.. what 
better place is there to bandscan with a SRF-39FP, not that Al Capone or the 
Birdman ever had one of these babies while doing hard time on the Rock!
