I'm an amateur radio operator, won't give my call here, but loved all the kits.
I built a lot of heathkits as well. CREI was theory only, but a great course.
In the early 70's, I lived in Northern Maine (took a job in Boston, but two weeks later the
company moved their headquarters to their plant in ME).
The winters were long and very cold (as low as -40 F, once as low as -50 F).
I spent one winter next to a wood stove, surrounded by muffin tins, and parts for a
hot water 101. (It's a multiband CW, SSB transceiver for those who don't know). It's
one of my most memorable winters.
It may have been an SB-101 or something like that as I built that as well.
