Ah, but you already have Lee's fine IRCA reprints CD, or the 4th 
edition of A DXer's Technical Guide (the article also appeared there) 
don't you?  Ahem.  If not, Christmas is coming.


Is your brother in an urban or rural area, and how much space does he 
have, both indoors and out?   These have some influence on choices 
made also.   A small budget....what's available now...C Crane 
CCRadio?  (no antenna necessary; though has external antenna 
capability)....what are people's opinions on the small budget radios 
of the last few years?    I found the CCRadio rather physically big 
for what it does, especially compared with the much older 
ICF2010.   (of course, there, he would have to address whether he 
wants shortwave also) Particularly if SW is desired,  the Grundig 
S350 from Radio Shack would be the best choice, as Patrick Martin and 
I found not too much difference on MW between it and the CCRadio when 
we were at the Anaheim convention.  And Mike Hawkins hears TPs and 
Alaska in California on his....no external antenna, right Mike?
