   The DX40 is a kit, I built it.   
   IIRC Heathkit sent me a new Coil, I had the local store replace it and do an   
   alignment so I wouldn't get another OO Report in the mail.   
      
   Morse Code took a little learning for me.   
   The friend at Junior High School who showed me his Hallicrafter S38-D rx later   
   became our neighborhood Paper Boy.   
      
   He was in the Eighth Grade, I was in the Seventh Grade.   
   His first year of High School he took electronics class and met a guy who had a   
   Novice Call.   
   In the class he built a 75 watt CW TX that he showed me during summer vacation.   
      
   He got a Novice license that summer.   
   Often I walked with him as he delivered newspapers and talked about electronics   
   in general.   
   One afternoon his Ham friend from High School was walking with us.   
   Those two guys started saying things to each other in Morse Code and I didn't   
   know if I was the subject under discussion so I visited the local Library   
   Branch, looked through the Card Index for a book to help me learn CW.   
   The book I found was over in the Adult Section, the Librarian let me go there   
   to see the book, and let me Check It Out.   
   It was a Army Training Manual called: "A Menomic Manual for memorizing the   
   International Morse Code".   
      
   One help in the book that I always remembered is for the letter P.   
   PAN  P = AN.    
   . - - .  =  . -    +  -.
