\"Dansk<\/a>Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> reader, Rob Wagner<\/a>, who writes:<\/p>\n

Craig Seager is one of Australia’s finest SWL DXers, a longtime listener with great experience on shortwave, mediumwave and other modes. His amateur radio callsign is VK2HBT. Craig also has another special interest – old radio receivers. He has personally restored many fabulous radios to full working order and has accumulated a fine collection of his own. His knowledge of communications receivers is extensive.<\/p>\n

The Mount Evelyn DX Report blog is delighted to welcome Craig who, over the next few months, will regularly contribute a new series called Retro Receiver Reviews – a look at some common and not so common communications receivers from the past. This series will be of interest to both amateur radio operators and shortwave listeners.<\/p>\n

Craig’s first review has just been published, covering a radio not often seen these days – the Dansk RX4000 receiver. Check it out at:<\/p>\n

Thanks for passing this along, Rob! \u00a0That Dansk RX4000 sounds like a robust receiver, with a bullet-proof front end. A nice addition to any collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
