Just heard about this group and wanted to check it out. Keen DX'er since my teenage years, missed the boat with a lot of shortwave stations going off the air before I was really active. Mostly spend my time listening to hams on 80m and 40m. 

 

Ultralight radio sounds like fun, will be looking to grab one when I can. Using an Icom R75 at the moment, I don't think that counts as ultralight. 

Hi Issac,

Welcome to our Ultralight Radio group!

It's true that your Icon R75 doesn't quite qualify as an Ultralight, but you can get very detailed information about which portables are currently at the top of the line in the pocket radio market, and how they shake out in competitive DXing in the 36-page article at the following link

Best of DX to you!
