Re: [HBR] Fw: GB> Favorite HBR?

[WA5VGO]

Rick,

I assume you are referring specifically to the W6TC series of receivers, 
and not just homebrew receivers in general. If so, I'll stick to the same 
thing I have said numerous times. For a beginner, the HBR-8/11 is the only 
way to go. Build it in two steps, just like Ted presented it, getting the 8 
tube version working correctly before adding the additional stages. If you 
have plenty of building experience, then the"Deluxe HBR Receiver" from the 
17th edition of the Bill Orr handbook is the way to go. Regardless of what 
you built, leave a little extra room on the chassis for future changes. 
When you build one, it's never really finished.

Either way, there is a wealth of knowledge on this reflector. If you run 
into problems, chances are someone has the answer.

Good Luck,
Darrell, WA5VGO
