Holger,

"1956" was about 10 years before Heathkit brought out their
SB-xxx series of SSB Amateur Radio gear.

I learned about Ham Radio in the Autumn of 1956 and hadn't heard
about SSB until a few years later.

I didn't own a SSB rig until the 1970's when I got a Kenwood
TS-520S.
I added the DC Power Pack to it and did use it /M a few times in
an older car of mine, with a Hustler Antenna.

Did Your SSB-transmitter use something like the Multi-Phase
Central Electronics Model 10 and 20 series circuitry?

The Model 10 and 20 were the earliest SSB rigs I can remember,
I think Collins Radio, SSB Amateur Radios came a bit later
on.(???)

I used a Central Electronics 100V w/ 600L Amp at a U.S. Navy
Ham Shack in 1961 and LOVED IT!

I built a Heathkit DX-40 after I got my Novice ticket, but never
tried building any SSB stuff.
