Redundant technologyMusic on vinyl records, mobile phones the size of house bricks and pornography printed on paper. What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?
Thanks to boozehound for the suggestion

If they turn off medium wave...... rewind the coil with a bit less wire so it tunes up to 1.6 to 2MHz and listen to the 160m amateur band, and the old LF "trawler band". You might need to make a BFO to demodulate CW and SSB transmissions.

MW to HFThat's definitely an option. The radio is a regen so no BFO required. I'm planning on updating the design a little, so I don't have to go and scavenge OC44s and OC71s from old dead radios (or ebay). I've already got the audio amp reworked to use 2n3906s, so just the regen transistor to go. Sticking with PNP devices for at least a little bit of a retro feel.
