"Transmitter for the Neglected Band" and "Tuner for the Neglected
Band", both written by Jim White/W5LET, were in the Jan and Feb 72
editions of Popular Electronics, respectively. You can probably find
those issues on film at your local public library. Both are tube
projects. The tuner (receiver) is some kind of funky TRF/superhet
hybrid, and is tuned by adjusting four compression trimmers (IOW, the
tuning is virtually fixed).



Ah, that's the one. I remember it well. With the plethora of digital radios
that tune down to 150 kHz these days, the rx wouldn't even be a
consideration.
