[IRCA] Excellent New Article featuring the "Safari SRF-59"

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A couple of weeks ago, Gary DeBock received a note and photos from a 
radio amateur, Walt Heskes, KC2KML  who had discovered "Ultra-Lites" 
through a presentation at his local radio amateur club. He was 
intrigued, asked Google for further information and found 
dxer.ca....  Soon there after, he ordered SRF-59s and receiving them, 
discovered "the dial problem." Being a handy fellow with a large junk 
box, he and his son soon set off to marry excellent 1920s dial 
technology to a modern Ultralight receiver and created the Safari 
SRF-59 and rediscovered MW DXing in the process.

Walt was kind enough to document the Safari in photographs and tell 
us of his adventures rediscovering MW DXing in the new article:

Rediscovering BC Band DX via the Sony SRF-59 "Safari"

We have just posted that file to the Ultralight Files section of 
"Downloads" at dxer.ca. Its a great story and another approach to 
solving the dial problem... this time with a LIGHTED dial!   Give it a look.
