Heathkit Reference Material...

[Eddy Swynar]

Greetings All...

This morning I had occasion to thumb through a quantity of my collection of late 60's/early 70's issues of HAM RADIO magazine, & was pleasantly surprised to uncover quite a "...cornucopia" of Heath-related material of the period.

Some highlights (in no particular order):

-SEPTEMBER 1968---p. 64: "The New Heath HW-100 SSB Transceiver" (a nice review of the then just-released rig, in a style similar to that of QST);

-JULY 1970---p. 69: "Ham Notebook" (a very neat hint/kink to build an inexpensive multi-voltage transceiver mobile power supply, utilizing an existing DC to AC inverter as the foundation of same);

-MARCH 1973---p. 54: "VFO Operation for the Heath HW-16" (A nice piece on its own, but the author goes on to describe the incorporation of RIT. chirpless keying, noise limiting, etc.).

-JUNE 1970---p. 56: "Troubleshooting Mobile Power Supplies" (References to the HP-13 & HP-14 DC supplies), and,

-JULY 1968---"High Frequency Transverter" (Designed by the author to put his HW-32 on 75-, 40-, and 15-meters).

...And that's just a sample! 

I think the earlier issues of HAM RADIO are as desirable in one's library as are older copies of QST, but alas---from what I've seeen at Hamfests, eBay, etc.---they appear not to be, in the eyes of many Hams...
