I agree!

The use of "funny" feedlines and termination impedances makes for 
interesting discussion "fodder".

The diversity antenna requirements make this virtually impossible for 
current use UNLESS you have massive real estate.  The space between 
antennae being rather ridiculous.  Additionally it would require a 
fairly large contigent of personnel to erect and maintain.

I will be using this the same way I use all my HF receivers.  Simply to 
receive the frequencies I use or monitor.

The information received was gleaned from a prior employee of Northern 
Radio.  All prints are indeed Northern Radio prints, and the cover is 
DEFINITELY a Northern Radio Company cover, complete with Logo.
