Lash up Direct Conversion Receiver

[pwdrive]

Just had a good scour round and found an old gold bonded switching diode (OA5) thought I must fiddle around with this....Connected it from grid of the harmonic gen to deck (cathode to deck) while feeding the signal to the grid from the donor 1 Mhz osc, the result was that the mixer conversion gain has noticably increased on the higher harmonics, I thought it might have a chance but was supprised that it did....So there yer go.
