Good point, Darrell.

I was introduced to ham radio in Oct 1959 with my first issue of QST and
never really had access to (or, at the time, interest in) previous issues
since I wanted to build "the latest stuff". A few years ago I came across
issues for all of the 50s in poor shape but very readable and once
"debugged" were actually brought into the house. Those issues are a
wealth of information, circuits, and designs I feel very comfortable with
and illustrate the high level of excellent homebrewing being done at the
time. Before that I thought the peak in tube HF receiver/transmitter
homebrewing using miniatures (and a few octals) was in the early 60s and
started tapering off by the 70s.

Before we get too carried away with Ted's genius, I would suggest taking
a 
look at page 39 of the March 1956 QST. Bob Cole, W4RLC pointed this
article 
out to me several years ago. Although Ted may have inspired many to build

the receiver, it certainly wasn't an original design.
