Hi Warren, LFers,
I had to think about your comments for a few minutes, but I would have
to say it's the rigs I've built by hand that have given me the biggest and
best thrills. My very first homebrew receiver, which I still have, was a
simple 1N34 detector followed by a 2N107 audio stage into a pair of
"head crusher" 2000 ohm 'phones. I still recall 50 years later the thrill
of hearing WLS in Chicago as the first signal it picked up. I built all of
it save for cutting the wood for the "chassis" and front panel, as my dad
thought a seven-year-old and a table saw wasn't a good combination!
