Sounds like the man needs a copy of "A DXer's Technical Guide", Doug, but I'm biased. Off the top of my head, of available receivers, AR7030, maybe Icom R75 (is the R8x still available?).....and Flag / Ewe antennas can be very helpful if interference is concentrated in one or two quadrants. But, it's all in the book. If he wants to be ambitious, maybe forward him the couple of recent technical columns on Software Defined Radios... best wishes, Nick **************************************************************************** Nick Hall-Patch Victoria, B.C.
