I figured I had to chime in on this subject. When I was studying for my Novice
back in 1964, I had a Heath GR-91 which I think was a regenerative receiver.
When I got my ticket, a local elmer lent me a DX-35, which ran 60 watts.
Later that year, as a matter of fact, I remember the date exactly as November
13, 1964, my parents bought me an NC-300 receiver. That was a nice box, but I
really didn't appreciate all it could do until ten years later, when a local ham
tweaked it up. I think my folks bought it used, and it really wasn't tuned
properly; it did play much better after that.
When I got my Conditional/General privileges, I upgraded to a Johnson-Viking
Invader. So, I remember the days where you had to spot your signal very well.
