My first rig was one of the classic Heathkit QRP rigs. The infamous HW-8. I built it from a kit and it was a great little radio. My kids still remember sitting around the desk, or kitchen table, or inside my old Datsun on a hill top, listening to the sounds of code while Dad said shhh and copied frantically trying to make contacts. These days my son, KE7WAV, still operates an old HW-8. The picture above is his slightly modified QRP.
