Evan Haydon's 2010 Entry

Stations Heard: 247

Home built active device radio.

Conditions for receiving signals were very good here in Lincoln, NE. There were only three days with too much static from storms to keep me off the radio.

I used my 100% home made 7 tube superhet for this event. This radio uses all octal metal tubes except for the 6E5 tuning eye tube. The radio consists of the following: One tuned RF stage (6SK7), Separate local oscillator tube (6J5), Converter stage (6SA7), One 262 khz IF stage (6SK7), Detector and first audio stage (6SQ7), and Audio output (6F6).

I rebuilt the dial gear drive this year. I used some spring loaded gears from a Collins R-390. There is no backlash on the dial now. The radio has a built in 6 by 9 inch speaker. This radio runs very cool temperature wise and is 100% reliable.

I used a 100 foot long antenna that runs east and west.

Summer 2010 contest. Superhet radio. Stations heard.
