[Hallicrafters] Virus

[Oliver J. Dragon]

Thanks to Peter and Roger for their input.

As I was reading their responses the filament started to glow here - a 
little dull at
first but getting brighter now.
If I recall correctly, I should have realized that attachments cannot be

In keeping with Roger's recommendation, end of my transmissions on this item.

73,
Ollie.
