[Hallicrafters] New Link For Historic Halligan Project

[Jim Brannigan]

We were touring the Vatican Museum, and while everyone else was oohing and 
aahing the treasures of the Vatican (they are spectacular) I was hanging out 
the window taking pictures of the Vatican Radio log-periodic antennas  My 
wife asked me what I was doing and one of my kids said "Daddy found 
antennas"
