Ozark Patrol Regenerative Receiver

In 2014 I earned my amateur radio license as a General operator. To teach myself a little more about amateur radio, I purchased a regenerative receiver kit from the ham radio group Four State QRP Group that was designed by David Cripe(NM0S). It's pretty simple and was not super expensive($46.00), but I haven't been able to hear any broadcasts with it so far.

Anyways, I finally got around to soldering it a few days ago so this project of mine is a little more recent than my last post, but I'm probably going to jump around at first because I would like to get material on here first for others to see. Later on I expect to be more consistent and current with my projects.

This was a lot of fun and I was able to practice fearless soldering as I call it. The philosophy of soldering without fear. Maybe explanation was not necessary.

I have been using it to pick up weird noises, but I was unable to tune in to anyone broadcasting yet. If I get to tune in to anything I'll try to post a video.









Here's a small video of the receiver being tuned, but it does concern me that maybe I've accidentally made a musical instrument for electro-techno. Also I have to apologize for the quality of the video, I took the video with my potato phone, but I think it shows what I've built well enough.
