A very good friend offered to lend me his cherished Sony ICF-SW77 receiver for a few months, so of course how could I refuse? Introduced into the market in 1991 as the successor to the legendary ICF-2001D, it has become a bit of a legend in it's own right, considered, with the ICF-2001D and the Eton e1 perhaps, as one of the very best portable radios of all time. Now, as you all know, I love an experiment and thus I will be taking both the ICF-2001D and ICF-SW77 on many DX'peditions together to hopefully finally resolve the question over which is the best. I don't expect there to be much in it, but it's going to be a lot of fun trying to separate the two. Thanks for watching.
