Regenerative receivers, anyone?

I've used a National SW-3 three tube regen for 41 meters, using the 40
meter coils. It was a leading edge receiver in its day, but its day was
in 1933, and technology has improved a bit in the last 75 years.

Are YOU using a regen? If so, what?

If you are not using one, but are considering it, realize that the
sensitivity is great, but selectivity, stability and hand-capacity
effect will leave a lot to be desired; not recommended for a regular
diet, but fun to see what our radio forebearers had to live with.
