[Hallicrafters] Please Be Advised, HCI Has Ended

[john]

The ever popular  "take your ball and go home" eh?   Are you returning the 
"copyrighted material" on the website (the images lifted from vintage 
Hallicrafters advertisements, the Hallicrafters logo, the photos submitted 
by various rig owners)  to their rightful owners, or have you suddenly 
claimed  them as your own?  By the way, I believe if you're the trustee of 
the club callsign, since the club is being disbanded, you're obligated to 
surrender the call.  The claim to any ownership of the website (created by 
others, financially supported by the club, content contribuited to by the 
association members) is laughable.

It's amusing to observe that by your "take my ball and run"  behavior , you 
place your claim to the HCI above that of the members who actually made it 
a group. But then again, it's always been about you, not Hallicrafters.

We'll all be awaiting dramatic return #927 (and the notes from the "legal 
team").
