[Hallicrafters] hx-50-yes its Hammarlund not Hallictrafters

[Robert Sauvan]

Yes,
I wasnt thinking at the time. Ive been working on some of my 
Hallicrafters gear and my mind was on those for the moment and wasnt 
thinking at the time I sent the email on the wrong reflector and listing 
the HX-50 as a Hallicrafters as well. I have the HX-50 and do know it is 
made by Hammarlund. Too many radios and too much on my mind. I did get 
the answer to my question though so Im good to go. I will hopefully pay 
more attention next time.

Thanks-Bob-W0YBS
