That's a project! I'm looking forward to more installments. I'm also enjoy those old 8mm films you've been sharing.

Thanks for doing the videos Buzz!

Hi Buzz ! That was very interesting, but I'd say you still have a way to go. That set should be WAY more sensitive than that, even with a fairly short antenna. Of course, I didn't see you do any alignment on the video, so, that will probably help. I'll look forward to Part 4.
