Here I get continuous static, signifying the oscillator is at least at resonance, just not picking up any stations.

Attempting regenerative FM radio receiver. I’ve been trying to capture RF signals for a while, I’m only getting static for now, but the fact that it’s continuous static makes me hopeful. I’m going to drive this to a radio station tower and see if I can pick up something up closer to the source.

Until then, I’ll continue to trouble shoot given EM and microelectronic theory. I hear some oscillation frequency so it must be picking something up.

Accidentally built an oscillator. Not necessarily RF, but outputting the sound of the frequency of oscillation
