"Priceless?" Kellie, you have a very low-value humor.
It looks pretty funny from here, Lynnard.
Herr robust can't tuff tawk anything technical in raddio or hamhistory
so he goes to his "workshop" and fabricates low-tech falseness to
use as a "subject" in a ham radio policy newsgroup.
I didn't offer you the hook, Leonard. I only commented on the
aftermath.
The bait was dangled. You swallowed it and ran with it. You must be
all tuckered out.
Come on back with some more Tales of the South Pacific and your
bear-shooting for naval intelligence plus all that techtawk about
28 VDC jeeps in WW2 and how they all were mounted with ARC-5s.
What has any of that to do with the results of the Big Hallicrafters
Fishing Expedition of 2004?
Bill Halligan's company Hallicrafters has a proud history in radio in
the United States. Located in a part of Chicago (also the starting
city for Paul Galvin's Motorola), it isn't in the refined, sophisticated
east where hoagie munching and gaz tawk is predominant and some
denizens secretly want to be Sopranos. Chicago is in the midwest,
apparently in your mental concept of the "western frontier."
A BC-610 is a very old transmitter design, went obsolete many many
years ago in the military and everywhere else (except in memories
of olde-tyme hamme raddio types still glorying in long-past history
they were never a part of). Hallicrafters has been GONE for three
decades as a radio producer, and the name/logo has been GONE
for two decades. Hallicrafters is DEFUNCT in the quaint speech of
the raddio kops in this newsgroup.
Haven't you had enough? Are you incapable of being embarrassed?
It is GONE, DEFUNCT like the glorious memories of derring-do and
raddio pioneering of the heroic, stalwart, macho morsemen of olde.
You just continue to press on (weakly) in personal insults of others
not kissing your [expletive deleted] and brilliant technical intellects.
Such paints such a cozy picture of enthusing others to be just like
you and herr robust in U.S. hum raddio.
Sure Hallicrafters is as defunct as "Ham Radio" magazine. Many of us
enjoy indulging in nostalgia over our radio equipment and our past in
amateur radio. You'll have to actually pass some exams and obtain a
license before you can have a past in amateur radio.
