Granted, wasting time in DX mutt-piles probably would cut down a bit on 
onanism, Carl--although I wouldn't be surprised to learn that some guys 
have mastered doing both simultaneously.  .
 It seems to me that the real men would be more inclined to order a 160a 
7.5v transformer from Peter Dahl, and build an amplifier that will 
sigificantly facilitate reception.   OTOH, the coffins I've checked out 
don't have plastic windows for displaying one's prize DX QSL cards.
