In Europe no commercial gear was available until the late 60’s, when we could 
begin to afford the $. Not enough surplus gear either, so most of us had to 
build your own. I began in 1953 with a 0-V-1 (A415!), but with BCL tubes and a 
807 in the tx I was flying at my A license in 1957. And what an improvement the 
homemade 4-pole X-tal filter was! First commercial gear, a HW-16 in 1975. Of 
course, radio and propagation became  my professional career.
