[Clegg] Looking for some Clegg Information

[David Thompson]

I think I have seen only one Climaster and that was at W2NSA (Mac now SK) in 
Asbury Park, NJ.  Mac had a lot of stuff and a direct line to Bil Harrison 
at Harrison Radio. His model was a 62T10.

I had several conversations with Ed about some gear including the Clegg 
Cruiser which was a high end converter.  Ed said he had forgotten about the
cruiser stating that he had been involved with several a dozen different 
companies making ham gear.

Yes, to W9RAN there was a cross-pollination between companies back then. 
According to Frank Lester W4AMJ (SK) Hammarlund hired several from both P&H 
and Elenco (the W9OHM version not the test gear outfit of today).  One
fellow from Central Electronics went to work for B&W and came up with the 
6100 design.  Clegg and B&W were only miles apart so we can speculate.

The fellow from P&H had working on both the P&H amplifiers and the 
VFO-Matic.  He helped design the HXL-1 amp sold by Hammarlund.  Lloyd 
Hammarlund decided against
a Hammarlund version of the VFO-matic stating that there was little market 
for transceiving with a separate RX and TX.  There was an excellent article 
on a generic VFO-matic in a 1965 CQ magazine.
