Hello, Jim

Remember when even the Sears catalogue had radios in them? I'm not talking
cb radios, I mean Hallicrafters receivers etc. That was in the early 60s

as
I recall (probably earlier too - but that was before I got interested in
them).


I went on the air as a Novice with a Hallicrafters S-40B I bought from
Sears in the 1952 timeframe. I passed on the BC-610 though, used an
80M ARC-5.

Hmmm...1952...just beginning ham ops...that was when you left your
hormone-infused prom date bereft of smooches on her front porch in
order to rush home and operate with your new license?

That was even better than the Tales of the South Pacific when you
were shooting bears for naval intelligence!

Love those old radio tales! :-)
