Yes joe, I like minimalist receivers, I have always meant to knock up Direct Conversion receiver using 6BN8 double diode triode, say using the triode for AF amp ('phones) the two diodes could be used as a balanced mixer as they have indipendant cathodes and say a triode pentode for the injection Osc and RF amp, should be able to null out strong AM etc when resolving CW/SSB etc. Has any one used the 6BN8 in a home brew?
