[Bob Foxworth] For this kind of DX it will be easier to have
several inexpensive
RXes running side by side, each feeding a cassette tape
recorder, rather than one
humongous RX which after all, can only hear one freq at a time.
These sunset openings
are brief, strong and several good freqs peak up at once and
then are lost and it's
impossible to track them all with one RX. Used Delco car radios
running off 12 VDC
supplies, and small tuned loops cost a fraction of one good
comms RX, for this kind
of strong-signal, on-channel DX and give equivalent audio
performance, you can
put a resistive splitter across a speaker output to drive the
tape recorder,
but you'll want the big RX when the overseas DX shows up.
