[TenTec] Re [Ten Tec}OT - Entry Level for Boys

[Duane Calvin]

Used mine to listen to WABC, 770 kc, Cousin Bruce in NYC playing all the R
'n' R hits of the early 60's.  Cousin Bruce is now on SiriusXM spinning the
oldies on weekday evenings these days for a national audience!

I built a GR-91 too Duane. Yep, it was  horrible, but I guess you get what
you pay for. HI HI I used mine as an  outboard BFO for the floor model
Zenith.

OK, one  more.  When I started out as WN2HDS in 1963, I was using a Heath
GR-91  (terrible RX), and a built-from the Handbook 30W 6DQ6B oscillator.
QSO's  were very few and far between.  Worked all summer mowing lawns  to
purchase and build a Knight-Kit R-100A with Q-Multiplier and  S-Meter.  Now
THAT was a receiver (compared to the Heath)....  It  didn't help that I
ordered a 7175 kc   40m crystal - yep, right  on top of Radio Moscow.  Ouch!

73,  Duane
