[Boatanchors] Nostalgic Kit Central website update

[James Duffer]

Hi,

Interesting information on your web page.  My first Novice station was was 
composed of Heathkit equipment.  A DX-60 transmitter and a SB-300 receiver.

There also existed kits provided by a correspondence school called NRI 
(National Radio Institute).  I think they were out of Washington, D.C.  
Their kit line was called Conar.  They were provided with various electronic 
correspondence courses.  They had a course for the "Amateur Radio Operato.r" 
  With this course you got the kit.  I do not believe they made the kits 
available without taking a correspondence course.  They had some test 
equipment kits too I believe.

I have had experience with the Eico and Heathkit.

Of course there is the Ramsey kits which I believe are available today.
