[Hallicrafters] First Wednesday CCA AM Night Nov 3rd!!

[Jim]

Larry,
Bob is doing a great job, you had to hear the "it's my frequency" argument

First Wednesday is a lot of fun, particularly in the fall.......amazing 
range of AM radios...from the newest  K-3/Alpha to 6L6's.....

I just got my Ranger to Drive an SB-220 (w/attenuator)

Keep it up.......

Jim
