Re: [IRCA] TP's for 04-03-08

Dennis,
 
     Thanks for your comments about the 14.5" antenna  SRF-39FP.  Yes, the 
ICF-2010 can't really compete with it on open  frequencies, but the 2010's 
selectivity is better, so it's kind of a tradeoff  for top overall DX performance.
 
     Before the DX season in the fall, I would like to  transplant a 14" 
antenna into the ICF-2010, which I think would make a huge  difference in its DX 
capability.  It would also be one of the "spinoff"  benefits of the current 
Ultralight hotrodding craze, to create a super classic  DX portable that would be 
of interest to the general AM-DX community.
 
     Good luck in your trip to Grayland this month,  Dennis.  I hope you can 
log some DU's with your ultralights and a BOG  antenna, or at least some new 
ULR countries.
 
                                                                              
                          73,  Gary
