[IRCA] "Super ICF-2010" Full Construction Article Uploaded to DXer.CA

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     If you have ever wondered how the classic ICF-2010  would perform with a 
transplanted 19.5" loopstick, now is your chance to find  out.
 
     Designed as a super-sensitive SSB "spotting  receiver" to keep up with 
newly hot-rodded Ultralight radios (with 20"  loopsticks), this monster 
portable has already proven its effectiveness  at Grayland, Washington,  producing 
audio on TP and DU stations  that the stock 2010 can only receive as weak 
carriers.
 
     Full construction details are provided to create  another 19.5" 
loopstick model, or an even longer loopstick, if  desired.  The article has many 
photos expertly added by John  Bryant, and includes the results of a daytime DX 
"Monster Portable  Shootout"  between the 19.5" loopstick ICF-2010, a 2010 plus 
Quantum Loop  combo, a stock 2010, and a 20.25" loopstick SRF-39FP.

     Designed for serious TP and TA DXers who would  like to organize their 
search for transoceanic Ultralight radio targets,  this "Monster 2010" is fully 
capable of exceptional stand-alone  DX performance, especially on isolated 
ocean beaches.  Hopefully,  various experimenters will create their own "Monster 
2010's" using the  inexpensive construction materials specified, and enjoy an 
exciting new  experience in portable DX excitement.
 
                                                      73,  Gary DeBock
