Nice set of mostly vintage rigs that this dude tests-out!

I really enjoyed hearing the different audio samples, especially between the Drakes.  I'm always intrigued by receiver specs vs audio signature.

I had a Drake R8A receiver.  Which in a fit of madness, I sold.   It was a nice receiver and worked well.

I read that test report. Not much to learn. Waiting for a test about hard to hear signals, within crowded bands and in noisy conditions.

And of course, you always must remember the most important things about listening :
1. the signal
2. the antenna and local conditions
3. the receiver
