The SIBC on 5020v (5019.96) has been a bit better than usual the last

strongly enough to beat the Radio Rebelde splatter from 5 kHz upband -
may be worth a grab at your house too. Try LSB or passband to slide
Rebelde aside. Wrote a couple of reception reports for them this
week, we'll see what happens.

Which rig are you using these days?

For toughest stuff, I use the Icom R75. For casual listening, almost
anything - the SX-190 or DX-160 are both fun. Occasionally the
DX-398. My main limitations are, and probably always will be, the
antenna and the location. Both are less than ideal, and can nevver be
much better. I will put up a higher antenna this summer, but in an RF-
noisy residential neighborhood, that will get me just so far...

Thanks for asking :-)

How is that SX-190? I looked at one years ago, and when they were
new, but never moved on one.

Decent performance? Any trouble finding crystals?
