Received my CD's from Duane, and I have to say they are very interesting.
The videos of Mr. Halligan are remarkable, not only for their content but in
Bill's answers. Many of his answers required prompting from the interviewer
to jog his memory. Apparently, he has forgotten quite a bit of
Hallicrafters history, which many of us are just starting to learn. He
obviously doesn't think his contribution to the advancement of radio was
such a big deal (IMHO).
I'm not sure of his age when the videos were made, but I needed to remind
myself many times, I am looking at the last years of his life and how his
life affected mine and many others. How he brought the world closer to many
by the "Twist of a Dial".
Many of the stills on the CD's, bring back (for me anyway), the heyday of
shortwave excitement. Images of magazine covers, notes, publications etc
are included. I have still not looked at all the CD's contains yet, but it
is a lot of fun.
