Looking for information about a multi-band regen receiver article that
appeared somewhere between 1958 and 1968, that was published in Popular
Electronics or Radio and TV Experimenter magazine, definitely NOT QST or
CQ. May have been "Electronics Experimenter" or "Electronics World".
Need magazine issue reference ( any one or all of : publisher, year &
month, article title, author) - anything to help me search other archives.
Here is some info that may help: The set was vacuum tube based,
possibly using a 12AU7 + 6AQ5 or maybe a GE "Compactron" tube that
combined both the detector and audio stages into one envelope. . Power
was via a small transformer and a selenium rectifier. It tuned the AM
BC Band plus several short-wave bands, at least to 18 MHz, possibly even
higher, and did NOT use plug-in coils. In other words, it was
band-switched. I think the tuning coil was a multi-band affair,
possibly made by J.W. Miller.
Any help out there?
