[HBR] HBR 16 Owner Pondering Building My Own

[Lorne Barber]

  Scott, a very handy source of information for anyone contemplating the
building of an HBR receiver is a copy of Kee's CD on the subject.
  There are circuit diagrams, tips, the origional QST articles, coil winding
data, etc etc.
  More information than you will ever need and it makes the project go that
much easier.

  Thanks Lorne for your information. That is exactly what I am looking for -
opinions and perferences based on actual experiences.   What I'm looking to
do is figure out the 'best one for me'.  I'm looking to build a nice CW
receiver, then build up a matching homebrew transmitter.

  I vaguely recall that there were some drilling templates available for one
or more of the HBR radio's.  I'd have to look into this.  Unlike others who
are mechanically adept and savy, I'm a mechanical struggle at best. Were
(are) there templates available?

  As someone who has built up many HBR's, do you have any advice to someone
as myself who is looking to build one?

  I was browing QST VIEW last night looking at the various HBR articles.  I
happened across a letter in the correspondence section of one issue where
the writer had just finished an HBR-13 and was absolutely ecstatic over the
performance of his radio.

  Thanks.  73, Scott WA9WFA
