Everyone that homebrews has these stories. Each one is a heart-breaker. Mine was a Heathkit DX-20 with my own custom screen modulator for AM, built in 1971 and mod'ed in 1973. I reused the tubes in another TX and tossed everything else. Argh.
Ah... history. Still have the DX-60 that came after though. It still works too. But all in all, I'm very pleased that we have the K3 now, and we're in an age where magic is stil possible. Seems like at least 3000+ others agree... 73, matt W6NIA On Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:33:16 -0800, you wrote: >On Wed, 2009-11-04 at 16:56 -0800, eric norris wrote: > >> My biggest regret as a ham is selling the Heathkit HW-16 and HW-101 I built >> in my youth--to buy a used TS-520.
