Nobody here mentioned using a home brewed receiver or an HF to BC converter even. I know that Chuck in Midland TX is using a totally HB receiver, and a very fine one at that, with lots of modern features. The Best receiver I ever used was a car radio from a 1955 dodge. It was the radio that had the separate vibropack and audio output section from the main receiver. I did not use the audio output and power supply but instead built a power supply and audio section on a rack chassis and then mounted the radio in the front panel of the rack chassis. Also built into the rack chassis was an 80/40 mtr converter and a BFO with adjustable insertion. At the time it was a fantastic RCVR. I have often though of doing it again with more modern additions.
