[Milsurplus] BC-348 on MW broadcast band

[Hue Miller]

The BC-348 on the MW broadcast band:  Steve Bartkowski, whom I've known 
since around 1990, told me way back then he had a BC-348 that tuned this 
band.
I didn't see how that would work out well, have a happy ending, but he told 
me it actually did work. I wonder now if it got real squirrely ( technical 
term ) when
tuning around 915 kcs.  I seem at this moment to think I've actually seen 
the procedure in print somewhere. I don't think I'd try it. If you wanted MW 
on it, you
could use a simple 1-MOSFET converter.

Re the earlier BC-224-A. I do have a BC-224-A, BC-307-A, and BC-310. NFS, 
but I would consider a trade of some sort for something equivalently 
interesting.
These items do not quite light my filaments, but I think I don't want to 
break up the group.  The last BC-224-A I saw on Epay went for $1500+ and it 
had the
wrong, later nameplate on it ( a late, late 'field repair'. ) One thing 
about Epay, though, that makes me hesitate: limited control as to 
disposition, where it
actually goes. Like selling some  pack set with headphone and throat mic 
just so some fool reeanactor can strap on those things and contribute his 
part
to their soiling and wear.  Enough said, and last on that.

Oh yeah, just now thought of the UK aircraft radio that is a regenerative 
circuit, TRF: TR-9.
Which oddly enough, is the same type name of a Hallicrafters solid-state 
GRC-9 analog.
