[Hallicrafters] BC-610 on HCI Net Saturday

[rbethman at comcast.net]

Duane, et al,

    I suspect that there is "some" difference between an HT4 and a
militarized BC-610.  The difference of 10 pounds doesn't matter.

    All I know is that I love the "Beast"!  It looks awesome, and is sure
fun to operate.

    Mine was restored by WB2FCN - Jim.  I credit him for the beautifully,
loving, and tender restoration.  He also transported it from Buffalo, NY to
Manassas, VA.  He assisted me in bringing it in and assembling it, or was it
me assisting him......  Anyway, my hat is off to Jim for his work and
assistance.

    I'm still learning more and more about operating the "Beast".  It only
arrived late April or early May.  This has been a BIG change from my Apaches
and my HT-32A.

    Look for all of you on 40m!

Bob - N0DGN  Craf-T-Bob  (Because I love Hallicrafters!)
