The plans for this simple one-tube wartime regenerative receiver appeared in the British Practical Wireless, October 1940. The author reports that nearly any triode can be used, and he suggests that if more than one is available, they should all be tried to find the best specimen.

The author reported that he was able to pull in many DX transmissions that evaded his friends. He attributed this not only to the sensitivity of the receiver, but also to his patience and possibly good location.

The author used an aluminum chassis, which he acknowledged might not be available. He noted that perforated zinc might be substituted, as long as good ground connections could be made.
