Not a good set for DX ?!? I was gonna offer to swap my EK-07 or one of the R-3XXs on it.... Seriously, I've found that a LOT of these seemingly "dead" otherwise less-than-stellar sets come alive if you give 'em a halfway decent antenna...I took my KIWA MW Loop over to a bud's house one Sunday after, he had a late '30s catherdral that he'd re-capped, changed a few tubes in, done eveything by the book, but it was still deaf as a hammer. We hooked the KIWA up to it, & it CAME ALIVE...Little one & two lunger local-service daytimers from way up in Virginia & Kentucky bloomed...It was amazing. I wouldn't let him keep my KIWA, but he did run a line from his house about 75' to a tree. His set sings fine now...
