[Hallicrafters] a little humor

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hmmm. Here is proof positive that some things in the archives never die, 
they just keep getting rescued and recirculated! Speaking of landfills, 
there are many great things in the QTH.NET archives that should be rescued 
and reborn into circulation. So snip, clip, paste and thous shall not waste! 
Or was it waist away?
