Chuck Penson's Heathkit book

fyi,

   One bit of good news in an otherwise bad day. I just learned from
Chuck Penson that his book is going to be published again. He said that
CQ Publishing will be printing it and it will be ready for Dayton.

In addition to the Ham radio material, Chuck has added non-ham products that
were popular shack accessories - like clocks and weather equipment. About 60
additional products have been added including an all new section on Heath's CB
equipment. The book also has a complete tube chart, sales data, a new ER index,
and a new introduction. The section on collecting has been almost completely
rewritten, and extensive rewriting has been done elsewhere. The old book had 250
pages while the new one has 328. There is no test equipment material in this
book. That may come in a future edition (after Chuck recovers from the labor of
doing this one <g>).

  I'd say this sounds like mandatory reading material. The usual retail outlets
should also have it soon.

  Standard disclaimers apply and pardon me if everyone already
knew this except me ;-)...
