I was going to say my favorite is 1964. The only other one I keep in addition to the somewhat latest edition is a reprint of 1926, the first edition.

I've wound up with quite a few of the Handbooks. IIRC, I have ones dated
'69, '76, '86, and an old hardback version with a red cover from many years
earlier. I've been trying to decide what to do with them as I don't need all
those copies.

My very first ARRL Handbook was 1960.  My last, until the modern era, was 1966.  Although I no longer have the originals, I have bought copies in pristine condition at hamfests and they sit right next to my original 1966 Allied Radio Catalog with the order form sheet still in it ready to be used.  Anyone want to order a new Eico 720 transmitter kit, only $79.95.

My 1st was a 1957 given to me as a XMAS present by my grandmother.  In pretty
sad shape now but I still have it.  My 1st rig setup was all Heathkit, AR3
receiver, AT1 transmitter and AC1 antenna coupler.  Not the original but I have
them all now.

However there is a radio piece I've been looking for for years now.  So this is
a WTB request too.  My 1st piece of radio gear was a Boy Scout Radio kit.  It is
shown here on page 69:

https://books.google.com/books?id=7lafwNQ6mREC&pg=PA8&lpg=PA8&dq=bsa+explorer+radio+kit&source=bl&ots=Meh1Q3jEQ-&sig=7Ctm006UedcN738sZnpPP_mTTEg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiU07Xirf7YAhUK44MKHWjTDXIQ6AEIYzAN#v=onepage&q=bsa%20explorer%20radio%20kit&f=false

Anybody have one or clues to a potential source?

This was also a XMAS present and that lead to Ham Radio and eventually to my
career in electronics and TV broadcasting.

Also have a birthday year Handbook, 1942.

In advance, TNX!
