[Boatanchors] Comarison?

[Singley, Rodger]

Glen,

If you want to carry that up into the UHF range I have a 1950's era article using a pair of UHF transmitting triodes (with forced air cooling) as a receiving preamp.  For those hams who really want to go "against the green".

Don't laugh!  There have been articles on using the 807 as a regenerative receiver.  Using one of the 6146 family would work about the same.

I've occasionally done some thinking on the topic of real old-time radio, back to the days of TRF's and triodes, when just one tube type was used for all receiver functions (no rectifier), the days of the 01A.  I've also contemplated what more modern tube might be used in a similar pursuit.  I recall seeing a simple receiver in one of the ARRL books which used only 6U8.
 
In an unrelated web search, "6146" turns up in many locations a treatise by Glen Zook on the dangers of subbing with the 6146B.
 
Combining the 2 entities, I propose that in homage to the good old days of the 01A and in deference to Glen Zook's excellent tome, that he design, build, and test for us a receiver that uses nothing but 6146/6146A.  Naturally, 6146B cannot be used.
