OT Heath

Jacques Gaudron
Quite a few hams boast an old Heathkit equipment, transceiver or accessory,
that they proudly display on a shelf of their shack, or occasionnaly still
use....
You surely know that Edward Heath, who started the Heath Company around
1900, created aeroplane kits first ? There's still one flying*, restored in
2000. It's at Brodhead, Wisconsin, owned and piloted by Chris Price...There
are also many vintage planes, all flying on this airfield.
Sorry to be OT...but this could have interested somebody.
73 Jacques
