Gary meant to say... Hello All, Intrigued by the recent postings about MW DXing with Sony Walkmans, I went out and purchased a Sony SRF-59 for about $20 at a local store here in Puyallup, WA. Although it has an analog design like I wanted, I certainly didn't have much hope for its DX

You folks in the great NW demonstrate over and over the top three factors of successful TP DXing: 1)location 2-3) see #1. Just keep rubbing it in about all those TPs. I have had an SRF M78 for more years than I can remember and it's my dog-walking, dxing machine, pre-sunrise. No great shakes

Hello All, Thanks to Colin for re-posting my mini-review of the Sony SRF-59 Walkman, an incredible overachiever for $20..00. The TP conditions certainly were not the best last night, so I am eager to see how this tiny analog DX radio will perform when conditions really improve.

Dr. Xin also comments on the AM sensitivity. He likes the SRF M-59, 83 and M-35V for MW sensitivity. He attributes performance to Sony's proprietary IC and Sony's secretiveness about it--like Coca Cola recipe. As far as unmodified performance, the M-35V, performs the best, according to him.
