Added a DC power jack, power switch, external speaker jack and speaker select switch to my SolderSmoke Direct Conversion 40m receiver project. It’s amazing how much better it sounds with an external enclosed speaker.

Is there a website that provides "live" amateur radio propagation paths like @TamithaSkov uses in her videos?

Other than a little feedback/motorboating problem at higher audio gain levels, the SolderSmoke Direct Conversion Receiver "challenge project" is working pretty well. Even got a mention on the SolderSmoke blog:
