[Elecraft] Vacuum-tube Projects (WAS: SMD-based kits)

[Phil and Christina]

What memories!  My first Novice contacts (as WN8OSM) were with an Ameco AC-1
and a Heathkit HR-10.  I had one Xtal on each of 80m and 40m.  I kept
working the same novice on 80m each afternoon, because she also was rock
bound on that frequency.  I kept wanting to meet her for an eyeball QSO, but
it never happened.  I graduated to a Viking Challenger and then got a
Heathkit VF-1 VFO.  The frequency agility was exhilarating after Xtal
control.  I still have the AC-1 and need to get it out and put it back on
the air.  I may have to get a 7040kHz Xtal.  Thanks for the reminder.

73,
