Home-Brew Radio

How many times have we, as radio enthusiasts, thumbed through a catalog and found a kit radio, stirring up visions of listening to far-away stations from exotic climes?  Here is a broadcast band (AM) receiver that a Ham radio operator built and used to listen to KAAY (even though it was 2007), as well as many other stations (see his station log):

Don't let the technical details bother you...I just thought it was pretty neat, copying a 1920's design!

Any kit builders out there?
