A really strange question

[Randy Kaeding]

Mike:

W8JTD was the late Fred Alden, who happened to be the author of the manual
for the HW-202. He was a retired Lt. Colonal who wrote Heathkit manuals for
many years before retiring from Heath and moving to Colorado Springs. During
1974 I worked closely with him on the original SB-104 manuals.

If you look at a similar drawing in the HW-2036 manual, you will find the
license plate reads "K8TMK".

We were not normally allowed to put any author identifying marks in Heathkit
manuals, but once in a while we sneaked one in.

Randy, K8TMK
