US BC-348 Receiver from WW2 - having a listen on 40 metres in the evening - a superb performer!

US Army Air Force BC-348 Receiver from WW2 - a superb performer. Using one of my 348s this evening. Video taken a monent ago. Simply superb receivers. This one has been recapped and has an internal PSU. I put a hum bucker circuit on the heaters to negate hum altogether for headphones use. I put some cathode bypassing on the final audio to massively improve the audio and converted the dimmer to a stubber tone control across the primary of the output transformer. Now such an excellent receiver to use. Love it!

Now imagine that unmodded and in a four engined bomber at full power. Brave people indeed.

I wonder if the homebrew Top Band TX came from the Stockwood Park rally two years ago?

[@vacuumfireradio253]

Yes indeed it did!
