A copy of the "SSB Transceiver from a BC-453" article by W6IQY and W6BLZ 
can now be downloaded from my website:

it's a 40MB pdf file)

This document includes the full original book published by Western Radio 
Amateur and some personal notes by Dean Billing WA6IKJ and previously 
unpublished hand-written notes by Ernie Mason W6IQY, along with the 
schematic of "Version 3" which used a 6DQ5 final.   There is also the 
schematic a solid state transceiver for 80-15 meters using 8 transistors 
and 4 ICs that fits on just two sheets of paper.   We don't know what 
became of this transceiver, but I'll bet it was built, and that it worked.

I've also added a couple of photos of successful BC-453 builders and 
their rigs.

73, Bob W9RAN
