[ARC5] REAL regen receivers RAL/RAK.

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

The Walter Ashe regen receiver (WAR-25) using one section of a
6SN7GT as the detector and the other section as an audio amp
worked pretty well for me as my Novice receiver.  If I remember
correctly, the cost of the kit was about $15.  I built it in our
kitchen using a soldering iron/copper that I had to heat in the
gas stove burner for each connection!
 
I listened to quite a bit of SW broadcast stuff, too.

Hi,

I have a RAK-7 and I have been casually looking for a RAL to go with.
It's definitely NOT a two toob bluper! Early experiences with some
"beginner kit" regens and an young teenage attempt to homebrew a regen
based on a 6SN7 made me swear off regens forever - or until I got my
hands on the RAK. Now I'm a fan, too. There are two regens here and
another two under construction to try out some different arrangements.

The RAK seems to work with converters a la Q5er operation with the R-23
(BC-453 - back on topic). Still would like a RAL and I'm sure one will
show up at a hamfest one of these days.
