Re: [IRCA] Might mites Ultra Light SRF-59 DXing

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello Craig,
 
     Get ready to join the revolution!
 
     By the way, you don't have to give up chasing TP's  on the SRF-59, just 
because you are far inland.  You can inductively couple  almost any antenna to 
the SRF-59's mighty 1.75 inch ferrite bar, or plug a  beverage into a Quantum 
Loop's rotating bar antenna, then stand the SRF-59 right  up on top of the 
bar for great signal transfer.  Here in WA, Kevin on  Bainbridge Island (the 
father of the "Ultralight" term) has done some fantastic  experimentation with 
tripod mounting, QL signal transfers, etc.   Personally, I haven't had much time 
to try his experiments, but they are very  innovative.
 
     Yes, receiving TP's barefoot on an SRF-59 (or an  SRF-M37V) is one of 
the greatest DX thrills you can imagine, but using external  antennas (in 
creative ways) to log them can be almost as fun, hi.
 
                                                                              
   73 and Good DX,
