Count Floyd,

If you like the SRIII, take Mr. Plimmer's other recommendation and try
a Redsun RP2100. Here in Louisville, we've (and 200,000 other
electrical customers) been without electricity since the remnants of
Hurricane Ike blew through on Sunday. My neighbors have all been
amazed at my RP-2100's ability to bring in MW stations from all across
North America. The DX opportunities without local RFI have been
outstanding.

Mike,
typing from work...

Mike,
I do have the CCrane SW version of the RP-2100, that was where *I
picked up Saudi Arabia on 1521! *With all the power out there should
be low levels of RF interference!

Thanks so much for marking my card fella's.
Indeed MW DXing is a marvellous part of the radio hobby to be added to
your cap if you already DX the SW bands.

I have just come back from my wonderful DX site at Jongensgat - see:

It a magic place and I took my Redsun RP2100 along for the wife to
use. I did knock about with it one evening though and got great
reception of Perth, Western Australia, a distance of 5,250 miles from
the DX site, and that was bare bones with nothing but the internal
ferrite rod. It's a really great portable!
