Hi Clayton,
 I'll add yours to the document. Do you want a copy of the finished product?

     Joe:  My first station was a surplus ARC5 station on 40 meters.  My uncle helped me get on the airand did manage to get the transmitter xtal controlled.  I used that station for quite a long time andworked quite a list of stations.  I was later able to get the VFO going after upgrading.

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!
