@g61g2000hsf.googlegroups.com:

others are successfully using
the Hellenedyne up to 25 MHz. my daily listener is a multi-tube
homebrew of my own design (PDF pending).

I intend to build your simple little radio, if nothing else, to prove that
a one tube radio is a one tube radio. You can add regen to it, but it is
still a one tube radio. I built one in 1967 - it could get my 5,000 watt
local AMer, and that was it. Regen will help, but it can't even come close
to even an AA5 for sensitivity and selectivity.

Regenerative receivers have tons of gain and are very sensitive.
