In 1993, a 1001 Circuits reader in the UK built the "20W FM Transmitter" (circuit #912). It worked for 5 minutes, took out the TV reception for his entire street, then melted its own output transistor. He learned about RF grounding the hard way.

Many of the circuits in the "Top" lists use components that are now obsolete. However, part of the fun for modern makers is finding modern equivalents (like replacing an old CA3140 op-amp with a modern precision CMOS version) to bring these classic designs into 2024.
