Radio Receiver Projects You Can Build — by Homer L. Davidson
Introduction
: Basic receivers that require no external power, utilizing a simple diode, antenna, and tuning coil. Notable variations include a "Spider-Web Special" and a permeability-tuned radio. AM Radio Builds
- Extremely beginner-friendly (assuming you know how to solder).
- Schematics are clean, hand-drawn, and easy to read.
- Focuses on "junk box" construction (perfboard, not complex PCBs).
- Excellent black-and-white photos of the actual built radios.
