Hello all!

[Sandy W5TVW]

        My first foray into Heath started back in 1951 with the construction
of a V-6 VTVM.
I think, I must have owned nearly every piece of test equipment Heath kitted
except
the "late" oscilloscopes.  I have built just about everything they had in
Ham gear
until the "Green boxes" came out.  That included the AT-1, DX20,35,40 and 100.
Not to mention some 15-20 odd "Lunchboxes" for 6 meters.  I remember the
last Lunchbox I built, was done in 4 hours using just the pictorial diagrams
mostly.
(I had built so many of them!)  That helped populate the 6 meter band and
got me better money than my paper route!  (At $10 a pop it was good money then!)
        I still have many pieces of Heath gear (test and Ham gear).  All of
it is still operating and servicable.  I do wish they were still in
business.  It was great recreation putting one of their kits together!
