[Premium-Rx] Longwave Receiver Recommendations?

[Chuck Urmson]

Of all the receivers I have had (including a WJ-340A VLF Receiver) my 
Cubic R-3080 is my favourite for longwave.  I suspect the 
better-than-most front end filtering may have something to do with 
that.  Another (ex)receiver that was very good is the Eddystone EC958.  
It was widely used by various British maritime organizations for many 
years while longwave was still important to them.  It had a 
multi-section fully-tuned pre-selector from 10kHz upwards.

I once lost out on a Cubic R-3091 VLF/LF (only) Receiver on eBay.  I 
really would have liked to have given that one a try.
