Altoids AM Radio
This is a small educational radio for people interested in getting into amateur/emergency ham radios.
Some of the parts may be missing from the designated parts list, with a more complete list of every part needed in the downloadable BOM excluding enameled copper wire.
This radio runs off of a 9V battery and can serve as both an educational tool for those learning the basics of AM radio and soldering, as well as a compact emergency radio kit for those who want a little gadget in their back pocket (literally)
Happy tuning everyone!
NOTE: I will be continuously updating this description to give detailed advice from my findings as I assemble a few of these devices feel free to leave any questions at all in the comments
I highly recommend anybody who tries this project use/purchase an LCR meter that can measure inductance accurately in conjunction with an LC circuit calculator to help with the tuning process.
