[Hallicrafters] HHRP DVD and CD Contents

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Sorry for the length of this post. However, it is the only way that I have 
of telling interested parties what is contained on each DVD and/or CD in the 
two packages.

This is the original contents list from the HHRP release in 2007, with a few 
editorial changes.

If you have any questions as to what is on a particular DVD or CD in Package 
#1 or Package #2, please contact me by electronic mail or landline. Thanks!

Here is some, but not necessarily all, of the material
shown on the DVD and on the data CD that comes with it.
