[Heathkit] Singlebanders

[Robert Nickels]

I've reached the point where I feel the desire to document my adventures 
as I go along in the hope that they may be educational, informative, or 
at least entertaining...so I've started doing so at my new website 
www.rantechnology.com      Since I'm interested in a wide range of stuff 
from newfangled gizmos like SDRs to boatanchors, audio, and homebrewing, 
it's sometimes chaotic but never boring around here.

One of my recent diversions was into the Heathkit Singleband 
transceiver, prompted when the HW-32A that I'd planned to use on the 
Sunday Heathkit Net decided to quit.   I've accumulated several of both 
the original and "A" models but hadn't really sat down and gone through 
one before, and I came away impressed.   I have a sentimental feeling 
for these simple radios as the ham who put me on track to get my license 
at age 13 used one exclusively for many years, and did just fine with 
it.   To me that's why simple but effective solutions often outlast the 
more complicated alternatives - I'll bet every person who has purchased 
a robotic vacuum cleaner still has a broom in their closet ;-)  In any 
case, you can read about Singlebanders and see a couple of oddball 
variants at: *http://tinyurl.com/y7qnabaa*
