[Hallicrafters] The Halli drift in the AM

[skip amis]

GM Duane W8DBF!

Two points to ponder:

1/    Most old rigs take time to warm up and settle down.  Case in pint - I'm an avid Siltronix affectionado and I've found over the years, should you want to 'use' the rig - turn it on and leave it alone all night.  Also, they had a mod where you modified the unit with a 'stand by' switch.  This helped a lot and several of my rig have this 'little' helper.

2/    For the longest time - I thought it was just me drifting around for an hour or so in the AM.  After a while, both the rig and I settled down.  After all, if you were an old rig - wouldn't you at least want a couple of cups and a donut before having to go charging off to work out maximum output?
