   Hi Ed,   
      
    HG> Yeah, those were the times when we still built our own gear

   EV> I built my DX-40 kit over 50 years ago.   
      
   EV> I built lots of Heathkit and Knightkit gear and a few things I found   
   EV> in Amateur Radio magazine articles also.   
      
   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.
