Hi All,

It has been suggested to me that I post text portions of the original 
cassette recordings that I have featuring; William Halligan, Sr., Chuck 
Dachis, Fritz Franke and more here and also on the HHI Web Site. These are 
available remastered by me from said original 1981 audio cassettes to CD in 
the different HHRP packages.

There is one heck of a lot of history there guys! Most of which is available 
for the first time publically or only lightly touched upon by other data 
mediums in the past. Such as how many SX-28's were "really" built, according 
to Hallicrafters engineers. The Radar countermeasures Hallicrafters built 
for the USAF for the historic B-52 well into the sixties. How the Russian 
government tried to bribe engineers in Chicago working on the ... Better not 
say! The high speed watercraft that checked the shores of Japan for Radar 
sites. The supposed ambulances, recon on wheels in reality, with a HT-4 
stuffed inside and more. Wonder how they powered that watt thirsty beast?

Some is historic. Some changes the historic account - although the books may 
never be changed to get fact and fantasy properly balanced! Others are 
amusing. Some downright ridiculous and even more alarming that they worked 
perfectly! A whole lot of stuff you have not heard about, or read about, 
before.

If we can work things out, there is a possibility that my buddy in Maine, 
Gary 'Mr. Parts' Brown may even have a parts available announcement read on 
the Saturday and Sunday Halli Nets.

And more -

Stay tuned and if it does not glow in the dark, just slap some Radium 
enhanced paint on it and hope your pets do not decide to lick it! Then 
again, I guess there is nothing wrong with an amblitory nightlight that 
appears as a greenish glowing smile!
