How to Build Your First
Vacuum Tube Regenerative Receiver

C F Rockey, in his Secrets of Homebuilt Regenerative Receivers, will tell you about his experiences building and adjusting them during the glory days of amateur radio.

And the book on this web page will tell you how to scrounge parts and build a working radio on the cheap today. Parts are available. And they're dirt cheap. You have to know where to look, and how to adapt. Here you'll learn how it's done.

Regenerative receivers are incredibly simple sculptures of metal, plastic and glass that come to life and perform far better than most people would ever expect. Besides, almost anything built from vacuum tubes these days looks like science fiction. Your bonehead neighbor who can't tell a memory chip from a cow chip will think you're a certified mad scientist. He'll think you're an absolute genius. And we certainly won't tell him any differently will we?

Tube regen receivers are easy-to-build and very low-cost. The hardest part is just getting off your butt, building the first one and getting it adjusted. Even before you've finished it, you'll already have big ideas and even bigger plans for the next receiver and the one after that.

Here, you'll learn the practical aspects of finding old components and adapting them to your goal of building a little radio. You'll learn how to make it happen. The set described inside is not the ultimate receiver. Rather it is a real, working receiver that was built from salvaged material on hand. It is not about hopes and dreams. It is about building a working radio, about getting results.

You'll see where the parts come from, how they're chosen, and how they're made to work together. This isn't the ultimate radio. It's your first. I think you'll be amazed at what is possible. Within these pages, you'll see it come together. While you're experimenting with it, you can be accumulating parts for your next impressive receiver.

You also get the best parts of the classic regenerative receiver article by HA Robinson that appeared in the Feb 1933 issue of QST Magazine. You also get Edwin Armstrong's lengthy 1914 patent for the regenerative circuit with all schematics. The Colonel himself will explain to you how it works.

Build your first regenerative receiver. We'll coach you through it. Careful, though! Your knucklehead neighbors and inlaws might really think you're a mad scientist and try to have you put away! I guarantee you that you will be the talk of the neighborhood just like the first regenerative receiver builders were more than seventy years ago!

This is about alley pickin', scrounging, adapting, and getting something almost for nuthin... And don't try to tell me that doesn't appeal to a cheapskate like you. Get a copy of this. Reasonably priced. (Really, underpriced) and get started today! 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 softcover 128 pages
