Thepillenwerfer,
That article you attached is very good and it illustrates an interesting point about super-regenerative receivers, not only do they work for AM reception, they can do a good job of slope detecting FM too.

The other thing, it's dead easy to turn the stage into a transmitter, with a switch and a few small circuit changes, so they make for a really simple transceiver design.

I have two super-regen transceivers constructed with 6CW4 nuvistors that work amazingly well at UHF. I can't attach the photo currently, but could next week.
