Hi Chris, 
 
Welcome to the left coast-- and it's great to have you here! You may not recall, but I made up a 7.5" loopstick Tecsun PL-300WT model for you a few years back, and would be happy to provide something similar for you again, to get you back in "the game." 
 
<<<ÂÂThanks Nick and Neil, would love to confer with Guy. Hopefully he will chime in but don't want to hog the list.ÂÂ >>> 
 
Yes,Âhopefully you will confer with Guy, but be advised that if you spend serious time conversing with either of the Puyallup DXers, you may find yourself influenced to tryÂone of the wackiest innovations of the past few years... "CliffhangerÂDXing."

Maybe you could talk to Guy Atkins about the Elad FDM-S2 SDR, 
Chris. Perseus and WinRadio are also represented in the Seattle area. 

What are your antenna restrictions at your location?ÂÂ Any shrubbery 
suitable for stealth loops or Flags? 

best wishes, 

Nick
