Thanks for your generous comment, Nick, but I really think that Walt would be much more deserving of such an award than me.

Anyone who can stand on the deck of a cruise ship in the South Pacific andÂconstruct a detailed report of New Zealand MW station formats by repeatedly sliding and peaking a Slider loopstick coil on a hot-rodded Eton E100 pocket radio deserves the ultimate honor (honour).

exploits in the pursuit of ultimate DX must qualify you for some sort
of award Gary.

best wishes,
Nick
