New Project: Heathkit HW-9

Well, the HW-9 project stumped me in the beginning. I have made little head way on it to this date. I have not surrendered though.  I had some changes in my life come along that have placed me in a state of fluidity. I have moved and of course the shack has not been re-assembled. Once I get a handle on the move I will tackle the HW-9 with greater resolve!

I just bought a new project, a Heathkit HW-9 transceiver with the WARC bands. I have not received it yet but will soon. It needs some work but that is what a project is all about. I already own a HW-8 in pristine working condition. I have previously owned a HW-9 and always regretted selling it back in the 1980's. As this project develops I will chronicle it here on my blog. Now where did I put that soldering iron? Hmmm guess i will just follow the smoke smell. Till next time, 73
