They say it's "for the Pacific" so it will be interesting what its specs are and whether it will translate to easier DX here in the USA, especially in those tougher winter months. I was up listening to the first hour of RNZ Saturday Night Requests between 0700 and 0800 on 11725 and the rx was very good, but great when they QSY'd to 9700. However that was 2:00am locally so I had to turn in.
