Rick W1DSP's FB SolderSmoke Direct Conversion Receiver -- Exploring the Rabbit Holes

Thanks to Rick W1DSP for sending us his "proof of life" video. It is indeed alive! Congratulations Rick! Welcome to the Hall of Fame!

Here's another SS DCR proof of life video. I took a bunch of detours on the way to get here - redesigned the coil former to add a fixed coil (learned openscad), spent a bunch of times on the DCR classics (KK7B, W7EL designs), acquired parts to build the original KK7B DCR, and so on. This is the sort of project that's a perfect excuse to explore all the sorts of rabbit holes we hope to find along the way to completing a project. Thanks for a great project. I'd just like to add that you're building a great community of experimenters. Most excellent, sir! Thanks to Bill & Dean!
