A long time ago, when I was in fourth grade an uncle bought me a AM radio, in a
wooden case, that had shortwave. That started me as a SWL. Later in 12 grade,
1954, I bought a used Heathkit AT1, crystal bound CW transmitter. I had to
cover the transmitter with metal screen to stop TVI in the neighborhood. My dad
bought me a Hallicrafters S85. With my novice ticket and a vee dipole I was on
the air as KN2UMQ looking for DX in nearby New York State and Pennsylvania on
80 meters....now, years later still looking for DX but with a rig that was
unimaginable back in 1950's: Ten Tec Orion II.

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.73 -
