For it being modern, it would be cool to have it be dead simple yet give a
nice clean and chirp-free signal. Don't want to sound like s***. The
octal-socket for crystal holder sucks. I'd also want to be liberated from
old crystals, so some 3d-printed or molded part to carry a more modern xtal
(with allowance for external VFO) would be great. Solid state P.S. with
name-brand caps. Banana jacks for the output antenna, but that's just me. I
love the coil holders - I assume you are having them made? If it was mine
I'd put some filtering on the AC. An indicator for RF output (not a power
bulb, just something to tell you RF is making it out.
Do a Kickstarter. I'm in!
