[AMRadio] Boat Anchor Receiver

[Jim Wilhite]

Brett where did you find the B&W coil stock.?  B&W still exists and has 
some stock left but it is pretty picked over.  I bought some direct from 
them a couple of years back and the guy said they are not making it any 
longer and when the stock is gone, that will be it.

You will find it floating around hamfests from time to time but the new 
stuff is difficult.  I haven't see any in the past 3-4 years.  Sadly as 
you know, most hams don't home brew much now so parts like coil stock is 
not finding its way to fests much unless it is an estate sale.

Do you have another suggestion?  Maybe a tolorid type would do?  Anyone 
have any suggestions?  This is a worthy endeavor for the more 
experienced ham.  Receivers are infinitely more difficult to build than 
transmitters so I suggest someone new start with a transmitter then move 
to the receiver.
