[AMRadio] Heath Hw2036

[Ted Gustafson]

Put one together years ago. Was a bit of a job as it was done it a 8X14
shack I was living in in the woods of Northern Minnesota. When I got it done
it worked just fine. It never worked well in the winter up here. On the -40
deg mornings it would take all of 15 miles of driving to get it warmed up
enough in the truck for it to work. By that time I was just about to work.
Good little rig used it for years. Alignment was not too complex as I recall
and adjustment of  VCO steering voltage was the sticky thing. Got to get
that right. The cold weather issue was the VCO not wanting to lock at below
zero temps.
