Karl EI9ITB's FB SolderSmoke Direct Conversion Receiver -- First Receiver Built in Ireland
Congratulations to Karl EI9ITB for the successful completion of his SolderSmoke direct conversion receiver. Above you can see Karl's receiver inhaling SSB on 40 meters. We also got a nice CW video.
Karl worked hard on this, taking seriously our admonition that builders should try to understand each of the four stages. Karl went the extra mile with the audio amplifier, building a virtual copy in a simulator. Karl is following the long Irish tradition of being "radio experimenters." FB Karl.
Karl is our first ever builder in Ireland. This receiver was built in Ireland. Karl is American by birth with the call sign of KB8SWH.
Welcome to the Hall of Fame Karl!

Thanks for the great project, guys! Dean's videos were gold and the advice on the Discord really helped.
