In the collectors car industry there have been many "fakes" made for profit. Fake SS Chevelles and Camaros, Hemi Cudas, etc. Unfortunately some of these cars get pawned off as real. People now make what they call "Tribute" cars. They are not genuine, but replicas of the originals. They do not try to pawn them off as real, but they are getting darn good $$$$ for these "Tribute" vehicles.

Dave, It is admirable that you are honoring Heathkit by making accessories that go with your collection. In your interview you said "fake" Heathkit when describing these accessories. I think fake has a negative connotation to it. I think you should call them "Heathkit Tributes", not fakes. They were made to help commemorate your Heathkit collection and should be mentioned in a positive light.

Awesome interview- I enjoyed it very much. I look forward to your next "Tribute" Heathkit device.

We'll make it happen I'm sure! Things are crazy right now with K1T but by fall it should settle down a bit...

[Edit to say: The K1T thing has been all consuming - and on top of that, we're gearing up to move out to the country from the city - so it's pretty insane right now - but trust that my plan is absolutely to have a DX-60b HR-10b station on the air - no question - something I wanted since I knew what ham radio even was]
