Personally, I have built more than a couple of them and each radio seems to have their own personality. I the first successful one I built at 16 and it was a Radio Shack one because I could not afford a DX-160 shortwave - this was the late 70's when the cold war was still raging strong and it seemed like every country had a shortwave broadcast station - one time tuned into radio Moscow and they were talking about the preparation of reindeer meat - you could tell you were listening to radio Moscow because announcers always spoke with flawless English pronunication with no accent whatsoever -very spooky. Anyways you might want to check out the Radio Board forums thread - they sponsor the "1AD" contest where members try to build a one active device radio receiver and compete in a listening contest to judge in performance. This thread is a discussion on the one FET regen circuit http://theradioboard.com/rb/viewtopic.php?t=1431&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0<br />Love your podcasts keep up the great work.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07696265084312654089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-64935200743324449782009-07-12T13:00:52.006-04:002009-07-12T13:00:52.006-04:00Looks like a real homebrew project.
