[ARC5] REAL regen receivers RAL/RAK.

[Henry Mei'l's]

If you think that's embarassing, I "soldered" a hombrew regen. receiver with 
liquid (squeezed out of the tube) 'solder' when I was a kid. It turns out 
that this goo did solidify and looked like real solder but  was non 
conductive! Needless to say, my receiver was very quiet.
Live and learn ;0).
