Actually I have the Blap -O-Matic 88 and find it to be an excellent
reciever. The natural gas operated display is nice and bright and the
hamster driver mechanical filters have a great shape factor depending on
what type of skirt I put on the hamster. I believe the 99 uses geribles
rather than hamsters thus having the longer tail that pulls in that extra
faint signal.

You are correct, I had a chance to use a friends 99 on a DXpedition a while
back
and it really blew the 88 away. The 99 has a built in feeder for the gerbils
as
well, whereas the 88 does not have that feature for the hamsters.

One can always count on a Blap-O-Matic in those tough DXing situations, no
matter what model one chooses.


I've read that for picking up those hard to get Pirate transmissions

feeding the Gerbils Amphetamines.....

( Voids the factory Warrantee though..)

Perky little *******s !

Pics up stations that havent even turned their transmitter on..
