The plans for this handsome one-tube shortwave receiver appeared 85 years ago this month in the April 1934 issue of Short Wave Craft.  The set employed a single type 30 tube as its regenerative detector. The magazine recommended putting together one of these simple sets for those just becoming acquainted with the short waves, in order to acquaint themselves thoroughly with the operating and handling of a shortwave set.  Plug-in coils would allow tuning 16-200 meters.

An antenna of 30-100 feet was said to be adequate, in conjunction with a good ground. But the magazine advised keeping the antenna as high as possible.
