Heathkit Nostalgia Event – Fun time with Your Heathkit Radios!

On July 23rd, 1954, “Mr. Heathkit,” Howard E. Anthony was killed in a plane crash.

To honor “Mr. Heathkit,” The Great Outdoor Radio Club or GORC is proud to sponsor the First Heathkit Nostalgia Event. This event is open to any licensed amateur radio operator. The main objective of the event is to communicate with classic Heathkit Radios. This is not a sprint nor is it a contest.
