Title: Re: Heathkits - humor Post by: ka1tdq on April 02, 2017, 09:27:31 PM My father was a Heathkit building machine until I was about 5 or 6 years old. I think that's where my neurosis for building stuff came from.
My interest in ham radio started from a Heathkit solid state HF receiver. When I was 13, I found it buried in the garage. I asked my father what it was and he said, "Oh, you don't want to get involved with that." I insisted, and we unwound a transformer to make an antenna. We made a huge cubical long wire antenna in my bedroom. Probably about 20 turns of wire around the ceiling. Looking back, that was a lot of effort to make an antenna. Anyway, just reminiscing.
