Since I was in Jr High school, I've wanted to get into Ham radio but I've always come up with some excuse for not following through....I mentioned this someplace else recently, but I remember Heath Kit use to sell Receivers and Transceivers as kits back in the day. Fast forward 50 years later and I'm still picking up my ARRL/Gordon West answer/question book. Maybe one of these days I'll actually do it. Oh...I see the OP is in Ojai, Ventura here.
Heath Kit...man, you’re bringing back some memories! I built a lot of things from them. I did a search...they still make a couple of kits, though I understand they are owned by a different company now.
I also built a multi-meter from Radio Shack about 40 years ago. Still use it!
