[IRCA] Sony SRF-59 Totals Update......130 Stations now heard!!

[Robert Ross <va3sw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys:

   I managed to do a bit of late afternoon DX'ing on the SRF-59 today, 
while waiting for the Wife to get home from work.

Managed to add 5 more stations to the SRF-59 Logbook bringing the Total 
heard now to 130 Stations. I have yet to sit down with this Radio and not 
get something new to add to the SRF-59 Logbook ....and quite often I am 
adding to the Total Heard on any Radio Logbook as well.

The more I tune around with this thing......the more I wonder just what is 
or isn't possible with this Radio. I'm having some problems trying to 
figure out what frequency I am on at the TOP END of the Band as it is 
squished up pretty good there. The bottom end is no problem as there's a 
fair amount of space between stations. Man..I sure wish this radio had 
Digital Readout.....I think I'd have another 100 stations by now!!

I was joking about hitting 200 stations after I got 100 in 3 days.....now 
it doesn't seem that far fetched that we can hit 200....and maybe a lot 
more with some hours at the dials.

I know I can listen to any of the myriad of Receivers I own .........all 
highend stuff and of course complete with Digital Readout...and a host of 
other compliments....but Man....it just ain't as much fun as logging them 
with this crazy little bugger!!!!! Maybe it just reminds me of laying in 
bed as a kid listening to my Transistor Radio in the 60's and 70's....I'm 
not sure.

Bottom line is.....I'm having Fun....and I'm hearing some neat stuff. Spent 
more time DX'ing this past week than I have in years!!

Marching on to #200 with the SRF-59.....

73.ROB.
