[Hallicrafters] Ruination of ham radio?

[rbethman]

You are BOTH absolutely correct.

I still Elmer when I can.  I find fewer desirous candidates, but give 
them all I can.

I even repair rigs they have bought used that have problems.

I've gone almost entirely AM now.  The antics on HF with contests drive 
me insane.  I much prefer Ragchew and Round-tables.
