FB! Do you have to phase invert the antenna to make the S-Meter work ? :-) It really is very nice work Steve, congrats!

It was based on parts from a Zenith 5-tube broadcast radio (actually the same model as our family kitchen table radio when I was a little kid) but I pulled variable cap plates and added a few parts to move it up to 160m and create a better band-spread across the dial. I was also able to get a double-humped response on the antenna tracking and avoid the need for a front panel antenna trimmer control. http://www.wd8das.net/160mRX/160mRX.html The picture of the front panel was snapped at the moment it was receiving one of the crew on 1985 kHz. The signal was about S9+15dB on my other receivers.
