Came across this site on building a 3-transistor shortwave radio similar to the kit offered by Radio Shack years ago:

Very cool!  Thanks for sharing this, Richard.

When I have a little time, I’ll go through my parts box and see how many of these components I already have. The author also supplies an excellent assembly manual for download and print. It would be fantastic if someone would kit up the parts list and offer it as a package. Regardless, this will make for a fun winter project!
