[PCR-1000] pour HF performance

[Bryan Herbert]

I can back R.J. on this one. Ive owned my IC-PCR1000BON almost a year
now and it performs great on HF. There have been times where ill be
picking up a station that others with thousand dollar receivers, DSP
and longwire antennas cant pick up. Below is an url to a log that ive
kept over the last couple months of stations that ive been able to
receive/decode with my 1000 and the Radio Shack discone antenna.
