It sounds like 80M AM to me,which is ham radio. Now, I've seen some 'ugly construction' before, but this takes the cake. LOL! It's a miracle this works, but it does work and I am impressed. However, the MOST impressive thing I've seen in home brew was a guy (not a ham, just an experimenter) who took an old Navy surplus BC series tube receiver and totally rewired it with solid state op amps, and it worked beautifully!!!

That is cool! But I think you have built a shortwave receiver, not an "amateur radio receiver"...

It looks complicated and very interesting - how can I attempt to build something like that?
