Hi Nick,
 
     Great going for your "almost" logging of  VOA-1575 on the barefoot 
SRF-59.  That kind of reception, if later  repeated, would be a real thriller... 
shattering the Ultralight radio record  books!  Next time, you may wish to try 
chasing TP's with the SRF-39FP  prison radio, which is a little more sensitive, 
and a lot easier to tune  (you may have felt like using the SRF-59's 
thumbwheel, on the high end of the  band around 1575, is like gambling at a casino).  
The "prison radio" is  much more ergonomically agreeable.
 
     I also heard the strong het from 1575 on the  "Super Prison Radio 2" (a 
new, improved version of the original, with better  sensitivity and nulling 
ability) this morning, but our KZIZ-1560 local put out  just enough splatter to 
mess up the audio.  594 and 747 had traces of  audio here, and the SPR2 had a 
couple of hets from the DU direction around 1505,  but no audio.
 
     The technical details of the "Super Prison Radio  2," should be written 
up shortly, as well as the story of the 6.25" antenna  transplant into the 
digital DT-200VX ultralight.  For TP DXing, these tiny  overachievers are a real 
blast! Can't wait to take them to Grayland, or even  around any ocean beach at 
sunrise, hi.
 
                                                                              
                73,  Gary
