Re: [IRCA] Relighting the fire
Hi Bob,
The fifteen-buck SRF-59 has probably been responsible for "Relighting
the Fire" in more medium wave DXers than any other receiver recently, and was
the original inspiration for the Ultralight movement. Although most of us
have moved on to more convenient digital Ultralights, the SRF-59 still is
popular around the world as the ultimate DXing bang for the buck.
73, Gary DeBock
