My 1st was a 1957 given to me as a XMAS present by my grandmother. In pretty
sad shape now but I still have it. My 1st rig setup was all Heathkit, AR3
receiver, AT1 transmitter and AC1 antenna coupler. Not the original but I have
them all now.
However there is a radio piece I've been looking for for years now. So this is
a WTB request too. My 1st piece of radio gear was a Boy Scout Radio kit. It is
shown here on page 69:
https://books.google.com/books?id=7lafwNQ6mREC&pg=PA8&lpg=PA8&dq=bsa+explorer+radio+kit&source=bl&ots=Meh1Q3jEQ-&sig=7Ctm006UedcN738sZnpPP_mTTEg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiU07Xirf7YAhUK44MKHWjTDXIQ6AEIYzAN#v=onepage&q=bsa%20explorer%20radio%20kit&f=false
Anybody have one or clues to a potential source?
This was also a XMAS present and that lead to Ham Radio and eventually to my
career in electronics and TV broadcasting.
Also have a birthday year Handbook, 1942.
In advance, TNX!

My very first ARRL Handbook was 1960. My last, until the modern era, was 1966.
Although I no longer have the originals, I have bought copies in pristine
condition at hamfests and they sit right next to my original 1966 Allied Radio
Catalog with the order form sheet still in it ready to be used. Anyone want to
order a new Eico 720 transmitter kit, only $79.95.

Amazing how many are holding on to old RA handbooks.
I've wound up with quite a few of the Handbooks. IIRC, I have ones dated '69,
'76, '86, and an old hardback version with a red cover from many years earlier.
I've been trying to decide what to do with them as I don't need all those
copies.
