Pete WB9FLW reminds us that Olivier F5LVG has LONG been using copper nails and wood boards to build amazing rigs. See above for one magnificent example. That, my friends, is a superhet receiver. Inspirational!
A few posts back we asked for nominations for the official name of this technique. We still have to consult with Steve Silverman on this, but the nominations are:
Armand WA1UQO (perhaps reflecting his proximity to Washingotn DC) "Wire-Tapping"
Gary Hinson: "Coffin Dodging" (sounds a bit dodgy to me).
And the front runner so far, from Melbourne, Australia -- drum roll please:
Peter Parker: "NAILBOARDING." (Peter thinks he nailed it with that one. I tend to agree.)
Definitely Nailboarding.
