In the 70¡¯s, I built my entire station¡Heathkit.? First it was? the HW-101, the HA-10 Warrior amp.? Warrior was just too big and didn¡¯t match the 102, so I built the SB-200.? Not done yet¡.wanted more power, so
You guessed it, the SB-220 was next.? Had to have the Cantenna, so it was added to my kit building!? Welp, no AM in the 102, so the SB301/401 was next.? (The world of split frequency operations was soon discovered and quickly loved that capability!
?
Outside of the ham equipment, I built lots of Heath kits¡.Color ³Ù±¹¡¯²õ, multi meters, O-scopes, automobile scopes and tuners, weather station, digi clocks¡Don¡¯t remember all else, but there was a lot of stuff,? I loved building.
?
I still have some of the Heath stuff, but with the exception of my cantenna, all the Heath amateur ?gear is gone.? L
?
The automobile scope still works but no longer really needed with today¡¯s cars.? I still have my weather station and digi clocks as well my multimeters (VOMs and VTOMs)
?
Yeah..hindsight is a bear¡.
?
Wish I still had all that ham stuff. They worked beautifully!

you know, it¡¯s easy to say I never should¡¯ve got rid of that rig, whatever that rig was, but back when, I always had to trade or sell stuff to be able to afford newer equipment,.
