If the receiver is considered unsafe by the judges it will be disqulified. The power supply may contain valves.
The receiver may tune more than one band, but it will be judged on its performance on the broadcast band (550Khz to 1600Khz).
A circuit diagram and explanation of the controls must be supplied.
Judging - All receivers will be judged for: On air performance 40 points, Consruction technique 30 points, Appearance 30 points.
