Subject: Greetings Greenies

Happy to join this supplimental list.  Like many, Heathkits are close to my
heart.  First adventure was in '56 with the receiver later joined by a DX-40.
Replaced the ARC-5 that worked all TVs in my little home town.

Returned to ham radio in 74 via Heathkit.  Was based in Saigon as a television
reporter and built a HW-101 during Watergate, when one could not get on the air!
 Other memory is of stepping over Collins KWM-2s, S-lines, etc. while walking
from my apartment to the bureau.  Only the 101 made it back home after the war.

Have a garage full of parts DX-100s (4), one working and the major project...
restoring the DX-100 I helped build as a kid.  That's the good news.  The bad
news is that I helped build it!  We musta used a 150 w American Beauty to solder
the thing.  When time permits, I plan to go thru the book step by step and get
this beauty going.

Currently running a SB-101, HW101, Apache, and am close to bringing a Marauder
on line.  Usual variety of HO-10/SB610 scopes, VTVMs, power meters, etc. either
on line or on the shelf.  Have built the collection of ham gear from the DX-100
onward.

Again, thanks for the list.  Nice to connect with the folks who love the
Green/grey!
