[Hammarlund] The List

[Arthur Delibert]

I don't mind that the younger ones ask questions; giving them help and advice can be one of the more rewarding things we older folks get to do.  And although it's not always obvious to you or me, some of them may catch fire and grow to be fine operators or EEs.

Still kicking here too.  Still have lots of Hammarlund gear. Quit can be
good if no worthwhile info is to passed on.  I belong to the
Hallicrafters list and it is deluged with nonsense.  Stuff any ham
should know.  Seems like younger hams can't just use common sense and
figure things out themselves.  Seems like they need advice to do just
about anything.  Stuff I did in ham radio 60 years ago as a 15 year old
kid needs endless dialogue today. One good thing about Hammarlund radios
is they used lots of ceramic disc caps!  Unlike Hallicrafters who used
tons of paper caps which are all bad today.  I also notice Hallicrafters
resistors seem to drift out of tolerance more so then the ones used by
Hammarlund.  (I said it and I stick by it!)
