[Hallicrafters] Head Scratcher

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Get a grip Ed! You are losing traction there -

I have a registered trademark on "SWS", as in that "Super Wave Sucker" xtal 
set I designed in 2004. The prototype is here, several have seen it; W5JT, 
K3TKJ etc.

I do have the answer from Bill Halligan, Sr. himself, so we will see if 
anyone out there really does know about that "S" and the "SR". Hint: H-13 
and the failed "S-24 and the DD#1. Now do your homework!
