Hi Guys: Been a little busy the past few days....so not as much DX'ing time on the Pocket Weasel....but we did manage a few DX Sessions, which produced some more interesting results. First of all I'd like to confirm what a few others have stated about the Effect of one's Hand on the Radio. I too find that when the hand is cupped around the radio.....it has a definite effect on the reception of some stations. Sometimes it will add a nulling effect.....other times it will increase the strength of the signal....weird???? Who would have thought you could use your fingers as directors for the tiny little Ferrite Beam inside these Radios????
Here are my up to date Totals on The Sony SRF-59 after 11 Days of DX'ing with it........
