a rooftop 100ft long wire that runs down through the window, but it
does not seem so to help. My Lafayette HE-10 seems to get better Am
DX that this radio hooked up to the same radio. Am I doing something
wrong? Even my S-38 does better on BCB DX.

Dear Count,

The Lafayette Model HE-10 is one fantastic receiver, very much under-
rated today. Its sensitivity is far better than its specifications
would seem to indicate and its selectivity is excellent also.

Though I can't comment on the Lafayette, I can say that the
selectivity on the RF-2200 isn't up to the task of split frequency MW
DX. For stateside DX its fine, as the channels are all 10 kHz apart.
Maybe on a good night you may try for some of the Carribean channels
that are on the 5's, but Europeans are probably out of reach.
Thanks for the reply, yes you are right, the stateside DX booms in as
does the Caribbean, but the Atlantic DX just isn't there. The radio
is like new, sharp as a tack, listen to the NYC stations regularly
here in South Florida, but nada with the Europeans, even when I took
it to the beach, just one mile away.
