news After a hiatus of many months (years, even) I am resuming
the now 53 year old dream of my own comms RX in the old style,
although this time I am buying off-the-shelf gears (actually
fairly cheap via amazon*****) instead of cutting my own.

So, whoever you are or were, once again, many thanks for
the free gift of the 4-gang 500pF condenser, a gift for
which I remain grateful and which generosity I had not forgotten.

So, in the first instance I will be producing an ersatz
chinky copy of the Eddystone 898 tuning dial, something
which we homebrewers would salivat over in the 1960s

*****HPC Gears used to be the preferred source for Brit.

I wouldn't bother...

A good point, well put.

If I can get this RX out of my system, then I can put
amateur radio to bed forever and concentrate on my
horology and computing projects, although having acquired
an 1836 longcase 8-day clock, not so sure I want to build another,
especially as SWMBO complains about the chiming of all the
mantelpiece clocks :-)

Good man...good luck with your projects.

hurry back ......
