[AMRadio] Boat Anchor Receiver

[David Knepper]

It probably has DC on the filaments, too.  Did you ever go to YouTube and 
listen to the SX-101 clip?  I have one of these receivers and what a great 
receiver it is.  They don't make them like that anymore!

Great idea for older boatanchor equipment.  However, when using AM, there is 
little variation in the received signal as it is "slopbucket."  I observe 
that when I turn on the BFO, most operators are not that overly concerned 
about being on the same frequency .  I periodically hear variations of at 
least 2 Khz. which I do not consider that big of a deal, perhaps, only to 
the slopbucketeers.

However, on that very narror window on the upper end of 40 meters should we 
observe a split of at least 5 Khz., say 7290 and 7295.  But, then again, I 
can swing my AM transmitter down the band because, quite frankly, I am 
allowed to!

Cheers
