As a project to learn more about building radio receivers, I'd like to
build a WWV receiver (or maybe a receiver for the Canadian station CHU,
since it's nearby and the format sounds easier to decode). I'm looking
for suggestions for how to design such a radio, reading material, etc.

I was thinking it might be easier to design a fixed-frequency receiver
(rather than a tunable one) because I could just select the L and C in
the resonant circuit to give the right frequency. Or, since WWV is at
such "round number" frequencies, maybe I could somehow use a crystal
oscillator?

thank you,
Tobin

You could build a direct conversion receiver with a crystal oscillator.
