I have built a lot of Heathkit gear for both my ham shack as well as for
my radio/TV service shop. Some of the ham gear are still in use, others
are shelved for possible later use.

My first build however was a 6F6+807 xtal controlled transmitter built
on a discarded BC-radio chassis. The next one was a fourteen tube double
conversion ham-band receiver.

CU L8ER,

Holger
