There are thousands of these great CW QRP transceivers still out there - as good as the day they were built in the late 80's and early 90's. Yes, they are old school analog devices from a bygone era - but they are simple to operate, run limited power (around 5 watts) and with a little effort and skill, reward the operator with exciting contacts around the globe.

Anyone can work the world with a kilowatt into a 5-element beam at 100 feet, but it takes a special kind of operator to do it with 5 Watts or less.

This is the Heathkit HW-9 user group. Dedicated to the enjoyment, restoration and operation of one of Heathkit's most fondly remembered kits.

Welcome everyone!
