There is no reason to care one bit about this supposedly revived version of Heathkit until they produce actual product. The customer survey came out in spring of 2013, and since then there’s been nothing but hot air.
I could care less about Heathkit, after all the ducking and dodging I’m not sure why anyone would. I also agree that Ham radio is dying. It was shocking how many ham enthusiast got bad attitudes just because you pointed it out, to someone else! What happened to civil debates, it’s like people never heard of constructive criticism! I’m pretty sure more 20-30 year olds know of Adafruit, then Heathkit anyways. Keep up the good work!
