[Hallicrafters] 5th and Kostner factory, now 100 North

[BOB D.]

Bought my Ocean Hopper Regen receiver kit from Allied in 1956 ....  it was 
$10.60 I think .....

Wish I still had it ..  one sold on eBay for almost $300.00 !!!!

Used it with a single tube 50L6 crystal controlled transmitter ... the 
Mighty 4 Watter from April 1956 CQ magazine ..

We got on 40 CW with this set up from Ft. Mead MD in 1956 -57 when we were 
stationed there in an antiaircraft operations center......

Recently built another Mighty 4 Watter ....  even worked across the pond 
with it ...
