[IRCA] The Newest ULR DXing Craze... the "Frankenlights"

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     Thanks to Kevin Schanilec (the originator of the  "Ultralight" radio 
moniker way back in December), we now have an  officially-approved name for the 
outrageously juiced-up ULR's with huge  transplanted loopsticks and 
frighteningly sensitive performance--- the  "Frankenlights."
 
     Pure vanity projects obviously initiated by a mad  scientist who has 
already had WAY too much fun with ULR DXing, these  tiny terrors take great 
pleasure in competing with any portable on the  planet, even to the point of 
embarrassing them on occasion.  Fueled by  6.25" "Godzilla Bars" from 
Japanese-market ICF-S5 parts radios, the  Frankenlights prefer to haunt salty, ocean air 
environments around sunrise,  although they will occasionally be found in the 
more modest DXing environments  of Puget Sound.
 
     The two SRF-39FP analog Frankenlights  recently welcomed a new DT-200VX 
digital sibling into the family, and although  the trio only have a total 
combined weight of about one pound, their DX  performance is anything but 
lightweight.  The scientist involved can't wait  to take his new "family" to 
Grayland.. in the hopes of scaring up some serious  new ULR countries.
 
                                                                              
    73,  Gary.
