Re: [IRCA] 630-4QN on Japanese-Made 3" FSL Tecsun PL-380



Wow! Solid copy too. It must be nice to live on an island and have opportunities to do a lot of international DXing on MW. Here in Alabama, TAâs are rare. Course, Satoshi would probably enjoy having thousands of domestics to chase. 

Congratulations to Satoshi, and to Gary for the excellent design of the âScience Fiction PL-380.â

Satoshi was the first DXer outside of North America to have successfully built one of these models according to the recent construction article, and has used his barefoot "Science Fiction PL-380" model to receive long range DX stations in Iran and Moldova, as well as in Australia, Guam and the Philippines. A second Japanese DXer (Hiroyuki Okamura of Yokosuka) will have one of these models soon, so it's looking like an exciting spring DX season is upcoming in Japan.
