[Premium-Rx] Longwave Receiver Recommendations?

[Bruce Gentry]

How about the RAK and RBA ?    They are ancient TRF boatanchor receivers 
with regen detectors, but many people have been amazed at how well they 
can perform. There is no mixer noise or birdies, unless you turn the 
regen up too much.  I had one about 50 years ago, and with a good 
antenna it was amazing.   In many ways, especially it's internal noise 
floor, it  was better than an R-389.
