In the meantime, what Eric stated that he would love to see is actual builds being posted. The crystal radio initiative, etc...
My personal project that I'm gathering parts for is a simple Armstrong one-tube regenerative receiver. That is probably kiddie play for some of the engineers here, but its my choice project to introduce myself to radio circuits. I have the 6c4wa, but I am going to move towards the battery powered tubes.
By the way, Eric recommends that everyone watch Empire of the Air - a pbs documentary about Marconi, Armstrong, etc... it is a MUST WATCH for anyone interested in the Bolinas/RCA technology. Eric watched that documentary and the RCA stuff coming soon was actually written and inspired by that documentary to a large degree.
