I don't know about the skill part Dave but it definitely takes
patience. I would find myself at times kind of wrinkling my
forehead, know what I mean? Almost like squinting but
not, then catch myself and relax.

I know this one guy who has the P780 and he really has
his tricked out. One of the mods is he added a earphone
jack to his, that would definitely be a nice add on feature
to have.

Why do you say it's a very special kind of DX? I know there
is more hash and stations fighting to get in there if that's what you
mean.


I say it because there are lots of stations on those channels, and it
takes skill to separate them enough to positively ID one. Anybody can
hear a clear channel station.
