Sixty years ago this month, the April 1959 issue of Popular Electronics contained this project, a two-transistor regenerative receiver for the broadcast band. The circuit used a 2N247 (or 2N274) transistor as regenerative detector, with a 2N109 (or 2N217) serving as audio amplifier to drive headphones. A built-in ferrite loopstick served as antenna for portable use, although there were terminals for external antenna and ground to pull in more distant stations.
