[Hallicrafters] Why I'm a Hallicrafters Guy

[David Hollander]

Roger is correct. LORAN was only on 160. I worked 160 in the 1960's and 
Loran was a real pain and it was also the reason the band was divided up 
by regions and different power levels for daytime and nighttime 
operation. Anyone who was active on 160 from the 40's until it went away 
which I believe was in the late 1970's or early 1980's remembers Loran 
and what a pain it was. You could hear Loran from 1825 to around 1975 at 
night.

This airplane noise I am referring to was not jamming of foreign 
broadcast either as it was not heard on foreign broadcast frequencies. 
It was on various frequencies between the short wave broadcast and ham 
bands between 6 and 14 Mhz.

I do recall the the Russians used to jam VOA but I don't remember the 
method or what it sounded like as I rarely listened to short wave after 
I got my ham ticket in 1963.
