[Hallicrafters] Re: 40M dipole on 80M

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hmmm. Now in an old 1955 ARRL handbook the former owner had penciled in info 
on how to cause the metal box springs for the bed to transmit on eighty 
meters. Truth! He also had info on how to use the 'metal' window screen as 
an antenna! Efficient? Who can say! Now those two would be fun to have one 
of you antenna wizards model!
