[K3CAL] Heathkit Returns

[peter]

Jim,  back in 1954 when I first got my novice license I built a small AT-1 Heathkit (great fun smelling up the resin smoke).  I have no idea what happened to it in the meantime.
I am working though the manual for the Yaesu. Notes at the back are helpful.   Wow, as you say it ain't for novices, it does everything except fry eggs.  It worked well on 2 meters, though. Thursday I spent some time re-securing the antenna from the trees to the pole behind the office.  Gave some more slack to the ladder feed so it hangs more vertically.
I will call for help when I reach a deadend.  Thanks for the offer.
Peter

  Thanks Wayne that's a welcome story. I'm sure they would do very well indeed.
