Old vs New - A direct conversion receiver comparison

If you like what I am doing, please subscribe to the channel; I would very much appreciate your support. In this video I look at an old homebrew direct conversion receiver built when I was a nauseating adolescent and compare it with the last project we built here:    • The Sudden HF RX - A simple HF receiver build   The old design is by Drew Diamond VK3XU and is published in a number of places including the G-QRP club book “Radio Projects for the Amateur” available to members only here: http://www.gqrp.com/sales.htm If you are not a member of the G-QRP club, there’s really no excuse!
