It was so cool to watch master homebrewer Mike WU2D candidly describe his error (tale of woe) made while building the Simple X Super receiver.
It was also great to see his joy in hearing the band noise. Watch his glee as the noise jumps up when he connects the antenna. "That's the good stuff!" Indeed it is. So many younger builders see noise -- all noise -- as a bug not a feature. Mike obviously sees it as a feature: Thunderstorms in Brazil! The weed-whacker down the street! Remants of the Big Bang! Hearing this stuff lets us know that the machine we have built is alive, and is inhaling the universe.
