[Hallicrafters] Rare DX

[TC Dailey]

Coaxial Islands - pretty funny - RG8U  RG8AU  RG6U and those 2-number
"technician" licensees - RG58AU, RG59U

kind of reminds me of 1965 - I was stationed at the Fleet Anti-Submarine
Warfare Center, San Diego, and our club call was W6DCM (donuts, coffee, &
milk.... Dis  Carded Merchandise).  We had a hotshot, who thought nobody but
he could work DX.  One evening, one of the guys disconnected the finals of
his Heath 20m monobander, and called CQ (from the empty room, next door) -
the signal came in VERY, VERY LIGHT on the S-line.  The "patsy" pushes the
op away, who was "trying" to work the rare DX, with "Lemme' show ya' how to
do it!".  After repeated calls, he managed to work none other than 6V6GT -
after he couldn't find it in the DX countries list, we held one up, so he
could see what an idiot he was - great fun.
