Australian station. Another favorite of mine is located in England.
DX'ing is still alive and well on the internet.


Uh... that's NOT DX'ing.


It may well become the DXing of the 21st Century.


Edwina, you're an idiot.

I suppose it was my idea to discontinue the R8B? There was not enough
market, you fool.

It might have been an idea of yours. I'm not a mind reader.

I'm not the self delusional one here...fool.

There's not enough market for colloidal silver, either.

No, but it wouldn't surprise me if somewhere down the road you try to convince
myself and others that it was indeed your idea!

Edwina, not only are you an idiot, but you're a proven pathological liar.

Great radio. I'm listening to Wayne Resnik on mine, via a 10" RCA
Tolex speaker box older than I am.

I think what happened was that they pretty much sold one to everybody
who wanted one over the series' extremely long run.

Probably not the case. My guess is the profit margin was to thin and
they wanted to spend their time on more profitable product. There are
many older technology type components that would continue to get more
expensive with time and they would need to redesign it just to keep
costs down. I noticed the price on a R8B kept going up the last few
years they made it. With the Asian competition and the engineering hours
needed probably tipped the scales in favor of dropping it. Drake would
probably be asking at $2K to $2.5K for an R8B if they were still making
it today.
