You're right. For M.W. I think the mini100 is better as the antenna is
situated better when radio is in your pocket. When the WRX911 is in your
shirt pocket, the radio and antenna are "sideways".

My main problem with the mini 100 is that I WISH the dial was laid out
sideways. Especially on MW the scale is way too cramped for easy bandscanning.
BTW, last I looked, the mini100 was on sale at J&R for $19. At that price, it's
an absolute bargain! ---Ken
