Title: HW-8
Post by: Kb6dez on February 24, 2026, 03:16:56 UTC
I built my first HW-8 when Heathkit started selling them in about 1975.  Then I sold it.  Then I bought another one on Ebay.  It does not receive or transmit and I don't know how to repair it.

This weekend was my 88th birthday and a friend gave an old HW-8.  Today I turned it on and made 3 POTA contacts.  Amazing!

Does the QRP club offer any activities like POTA?
Does anyone repair the HW-8?

Thank you
