[Heathkit] Re The Heath Company

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Larry,

It was the Heath Company that made the Heathkit gear. Although the Heath 
Company is no longer producing radio kits, they still exist. I am told it is 
the same company, but in a different business, mostly educational materials.

There is also talk of the old Herro Robot being updated and released once 
again. However, once again, in the educational market.
