Can anyone help me out with recommendations for a good receiver for
mediumwave DX ?

with 240 volt mains and 9 kHz channel spacing.

I am 10km from
an ABC site transmitting 50 kw on 612, 25 kw on 792 and 10 kw on 936,

In the US, Radio Shack discontinued its DX-399 LW-MW-SW-FM stereo
receiver a year ago for $40US. You, however, are in Australia. No
problem, just buy the Sangean equivalent, the ATS606AP. It comes with
a 110 volt-220 volt universal power adapter, and you can set the MW
frequency spacing to 9 or 10 kHz. Internally, it has room for three AA
cells.
