There'd be a definite kudos to having a genuine homebrew receiver!
I've recently completed the Rockwell regenerative receiver and modified it for the 80/40m amateur bands. It's not very sensitive and the regeneration is very weak (it was very good on the MW broadcasting bands it was meant for, but I'm not a fan of Five Live/Talk Sport).

Now that I've got the Intermediate licence, I'll probably build a rudimentary QRP CW transceiver, probably starting with the Pixie but modified to use a ceramic resonator.
