Re: [IRCA] Relighting the fire

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi Bob,
 
     The fifteen-buck SRF-59 has probably been  responsible for "Relighting 
the Fire" in more medium wave DXers than any other  receiver recently, and was 
the original inspiration for the Ultralight  movement.  Although most of us 
have moved on to more convenient digital  Ultralights, the SRF-59 still is 
popular around the world as the ultimate DXing  bang for the buck.
 
     73,  Gary DeBock
