Would you dare driving an old-timer ralley with a modern Formula-1 racing car ?
Certainly not !
Receiving an old-time transmitter with a soundcard and a PC or an SDR
is as well improper style or even bad taste, but in no way a remarkable achievement.
Everybody can do so !
In my eyes the only proper way to receive SAQ is using an old-time receiver,
the older the better. Not necessarily an original receiver of the twenties
– who is lucky to own one ? – but any non-digital hardware receiver
– original or reconstructed, industrial or home-built – might be ok.To encourage listeners and demonstrate what can be done,
I recommend installing an SAQ RECEIVER GALLERY in this forum,
where every successful listener may describe his equipment,
preferably with a photo or perhaps schematic diagram.
No.1 will certainly be Jim Moritz with his ingenious electromechanical receiver,
but I am convinced there will be many other units
from the twenties to nowadays.
