At the risk of reawakening this thread too much, I see an ARRL announcement
that Heath has decided to enter the Ham radio market due to a strong
response from potential customers:

"Wake (Heathkit's Director of Sales and Marketing) said that Heathkit is
presently working on developing a few Amateur Radio kits. 'Initially, the
kit line will include a few accessories, like kits for a Dual Watt Meter,
Antenna Tuners and the Cantenna,' he explained. 'Once we are a little more
settled, I think we will develop a QRP receiver.' "

I'm not sure what they mean by a "QRP Receiver" since QRP work generally
requires at least as good a receiver as most QRO activities. I suspect it
means a moderate or low performance receiver.
