Why QRP

 

In Progress... 

 Started scrounging for parts a while ago  ..... finally a compromise was reached: A 80-40 Mts.  7 tubes receiver with good selectivity, enough sensitivity and hopefully good stability.

Parts were found at hamfests, old radio parts dealers and other people's junk boxes. Special thanks to Don, KA1TZR who provided the second conversion I.F. and audio output transformers amongst other parts.

I was lucky enough to have been given a defunct National NC60 which case matches perfectly the chassis and panel of the pictures. I also found that I have black and light blue spray enamel leftover.... Drake nostalgia...

I will post more pictures as the work progresses.
