I learned vacuum tube radio theory when I was 14, I bought a power supply/
Short Wave receiver/ Transmitter kit from a Midwest firm called Walter Ash.
They sold surplus military electron tubes, etc. It came in a box full of
pieces starting with bare circuit boards and empty chassis and tube
sockets. It was a superhet circuit, 7 1/2 watts TX output. CW only. Late at
night, when the ionosphere settled down and there was a good skip, I could
easily contact ham radio nuts in Australia, Japan, Russia. I spent many
sleepless nights in my radio shack. Never followed it much after
transistors were invented. Hated change then almost as much as I do now.
