Maybe Tom is modest? He didn't link to his much
material.   Anyway,  he has written up a 
lot of info about rcvr measurements AND his mods to
a few rcvrs,  including everything done to his "R4C"',;
really no longer Drakes,  hi.  Have a look at his comprehensive

You might have a look around also at Tom's antenna farm,  wow!
