Re: Ozark Patrol Regen Receiver A+
Curt
Don
Very interesting post on your older rigs. I merely got interested in the regen to experience them. Like you I prefer a good receiver and my K2 (after several info exchanges with you) serves me well. Receivers have spanned from coherers to xtal detectors to regens to superhets onto direct conversion and finally to direct digital conversion without mixing or detection. While I have built a simple regen one for more serious copy is a bigger challenge. I may try a wheatstone bridge regen. I do wonder if anyone around has used a 1930s style regen? Of course I have seen them. 73 Curt

First Ozark-17 QSO
Nick-WA5BDU
The Ozark-17 was a 17 meter transceiver on a board that was given out as a lagniappe at OzarkCon 2004, I think. I built mine in 2005 but had never managed a QSO with it until today. It's a pretty neat design by Tommy WD5AGO with a superhet receiver and crystal filter and VXO controlled TX running about 1.5 to 2 watts out. One problem was that the VXO would only reach about 18.090 at the lower limit and although the "official" QRP frequency is 18.096, it seems most activity is lower. That and I just don't get on 17 meters much. And don't have an antenna for it. About a month ago I got into trying to make a QSO every day, inspired by Herb WR9H. That's a big deal for me because I can go a month without a QSO while working on homebrew or programming projects. After that got going good, I figured I showed try a "rig a day" along with it, at least until I ran out of radios. I did OK with K3, KX3, 2N2/40, HW8, IC706IIG (mobile) but when I got to the Ozark 17, I struck out. (Made my QSO that day with a different rig.) I knew I was in trouble when I didn't get a single spot on the RBN. So it's all propagation. I fired off a few CQs this evening and got spotted by about four skimmers. In short order I had a response from WB2LQF in NY. Another rig heard from! 73- Nick, WA5BDU

Re: Ozark Patrol Regen Receiver A+
Hi Don,
I could not afford that gear in 1963 and I still can't afford it today, (It hurts to end up on medical retirement 15 years early ) I look and dream as much today as then and do with what I can resurrect out of junk and spare parts.
72/73 Adrian KF7DYU
I usually get enough nostalgia walking around hamfests and looking at the boat anchors for sale - seeing stuff I either had long ago or those things I lusted for and could not afford back in the day when they were available. Wisdom has always prevailed and I have resisted the urge to take one home.

Re: Ozark Patrol Regen Receiver A+
Don Wilhelm <w3fpr@...>
You guys have got to stop this stuff! I have been following this
thread recalling my novice days. I never did get a regen receiver
to work to my satisfaction, but I built my novice transmitter and
struggled with an NC-54 (or was it NC-53) receiver. I did not work
many stations until I obtained a BC-348J receiver.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Later, I went on to build my own version of the Lew McCoy HBR-16 which featured an Eddystone slide rule dial and used salvaged (and capacitor switched coupling for variable selectivity) 85 kHz IF transformers salvaged from BC-453 receivers. I added a Q-multiplier at 85 kHz and it had really good selectivity. I dubbed it the HBR-18 because it used 18 tubes. It is still in the attic storage, and I might resurrect it one day. I usually get enough nostalgia walking around hamfests and looking at the boat anchors for sale - seeing stuff I either had long ago or those things I lusted for and could not afford back in the day when they were available. Wisdom has always prevailed and I have resisted the urge to take one home. These days, my K2, K3 and KX3 are more than I need, but your comments have gotten me thinking about restoring that HBR-18 and the NC-101X that I have in the attic - even though I know that my Elecraft rigs are far superior performance-wise, much lighter and easier to use than those boat anchors. I may even try my hand at a regen again based on some of the stuff presented by George Dobbs at several past FDIM seminars. Thanks for the memories.

Re: Ozark Patrol Regen Receiver A+
Curt
Well, I'm not a real "old-timer", but built a 2-tube receiver from the QST 1956 in 1962 and a single-tube transmitter ( keyed oscillator ) in '63. I scrounged old tvs and radios from the local dump, so the parts were free for the labor of removing them. I used this setup for six months after getting my novice ticket, then my folks bought an HQ-170 and Eico 723 from an estate sale of an SK. Only owned one crystal for the novice section of 40M so many times had to "wait in line" for the frequency to be clear.
