Fw: Heathkit Crystal Rcvr CR-1

[Jim Hill]

Hi Al:
The CR-1 was a nice radio, but not the ultimate by any means.

I've listed a few links that may be of interest to your club members.  The 
list isn't complete or necessarily covering the best.  Midnight Science 
used to have a nice newsgroup called rap n tap but they seem to be having 
some problems with it currently.  I included a link from the last post to 
make the list more complete.  Hope it's ok, Bob
