[SCCC] SCCCORE March Edition Now Available

[Bill Shell - N6WS]

As a novice, I do remember working guys using an Adventurer or 
Challenger, but I think the most popular rigs in 1960 were the DX20, 
DX35, and DX40 transmitters by Heathkit.  I remember after hearing 'TX 
is DX', I would always be guessing which numbers were going to follow.  
Of course, back then my novice code speed was slow enough that I had 
time to think between characters.

Finally, gave up and my mother agreed to pay for a Heathkit DX-60. Later added the companion Heathkit VFO when I upgraded to General.
