My new Icom R-75 has arrived and I must say
that I'm a little surprised at how light it is weight wise. Also the digital
readout is really big and easy to read without my
glasses.
Beginning at 1700 EDT today I'm going
to put the rig through some initial testing on the MF AM broadcast band, via the
ABDX 500-600 KC CME. I will be switching between my indoor 2 foot box loop,
outdoor 5 foot coaxial loop.
Tomorrow I will test the rig out on
shortwave with a 120-11 meter dipole up at 35 feet and fed with 450 ohm
ladderline to a tuner.
