[IRCA] The Ultralight DX Boom Has Begun... Get in on the Fun!

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     Christmas is a great time of the year to buy a  nice present... for 
yourself!
 
     Technological innovation and competition have  completely transformed 
the humble pocket radio.  Once the domain of  stripped-down, image and 
birdie-infested toys, today the new generation of  pocket radios feature highly 
sophisticated and innovative IC's, digital tuning  convenience with memories, 
FM-stereo sections with astonishing audio quality,  and sensitivity rivaling most 
traditional DX portables.
 
     You don't need thousands of dollars or big  antennas... just some spare 
change, and a little spare time. You can go for the  superb Sony SRF-59 
AM-FM-stereo analog unit, an astonishing $16 radio which has  received multiple TP's 
here on the west coast.  Or, if you prefer digital  tuning convenience with 
memories, the SRF-M37V at $35 has also proven it can  receive across the "big 
pond," by two different DXers.  The Sangean  DT-200VX is a great choice for 
domestic DXers, with digital tuning, 19 memories  on AM, and a fantastically 
sensitive FM-stereo receiver, setting you back only  $50.  The upcoming "Shootout" 
review (soon to be published in DXM) has full  details on all these 
innovative little radios, sure to put a spark of fun in  your Christmas leisure time.  
So go ahead and take the plunge.  But be  forewarned:  once you receive a TP 
or TA on one of these tiny wonders, you  may never be the same again!
 
                                                                              
            73 and Best Wishes to All,
 
                                                                              
            Gary DeBock.
