The scratch build of a customised Paraset Spy Radio in just a few simple steps from schematic to completion. The 6V6 delivers 36dBm (4W) into a conventional 50 Ohm antenna and the lively regenerative receiver handled its first QSO with Hub, F5JYS who was running a K2 at 5W on a very noisy, crowded band. Great fun!

All of the parts used would have been available to the ra...
