May be I should not post before the second cup of coffee in the
morning, but it seems to me that stable regeneration nets out to a
Q-Multiplier. Don't let me discourage your activities, you would not
be the first to find a new life for an old method.

Personally, I find myself thinking about Parametric amplifiers a good
bit these days...

I have built a few dozen regen receivers and they all seem to work well

Has anyone ever built a solid state regen that does well with CW and
SSB? If so I would love to know how you did it (I'd even share my some
of my massive collection of radio parts with you)...before I go off and
build another dozen regens.

I have a box full of prototypes affectionately dubbed my radio reject
graveyard (or dead radio pile)...I just don't want to be up to my neck
in more prototypes before I finally get a good one.

Seriously thinking of skipping it and building a simple DC or superhet.
