[Heathkit] Rare Halligan Video And Radio Sparks For Heathkit?

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hi All,

Since quite a few of you have written to me to ask if the HHRP special 
Audio/Video/Data offering for $35 plus shipping would benefit an owner of 
Heathkit also, the answer is 'absolutely YES'! The original HHRP, Halligan's 
Hallicrafters Radio Project, is about Bill Halligan and his experiences from 
being a young Ham and communicating with some famous guy who played with 
sparks named Marconi to getting the attention of some guy named Sarnoff who 
founded RCA and NBC and Bill impressed him with his ability to send both 
forms of CW, one with one hand and the other with the other hand etc. It is 
about getting to meet and get to know Bill Halligan - the man - "before" he 
became a world renown hero.

There is a lot of formerly classified information presented that is certain 
to peak your interest and give you a previously not visible look into what 
went on behind the schematics, low bid board meetings and bureaucratic war 
zone internal department financial fox hole mud slinging and flame throwing 
blame aiming! Learn why Halligan beat out Collins, RCA and others for the 
military contracts! The infamous military "Drop Test" was no joke!

Find out about the ambulances that were equiped with a Halli HT-4, SX-28 
(and other UHF and HF receivers) to get the mobile ear to ground Coms first 
around the world! About the high speed boats equipped with spy ware, RADAR 
detection electronic ears and more to listen to what the Japanese were doing 
as these special high speed, and not armed, boats roared through the surf! 
How two Russian 'intellectuals went to Chicago to convince our Hallicrafters 
engineers to join them and tell all about the new device being called the 
geiger counter! And it just gets better as the stories unfold! A must read. 
As well as hear the actual interviews and watch unscripted videos!

Shipping is by priority flat rate mail for $8.99

The package contains the original sixty minute+ Halligan video transfered 
from its November 18, 1983 VHS tape to a modern DVD. Plus 2 audio CDS 
remastered by me from the original cassette tapes. Plus two Halligan data CD 
discs with over 258 files!

If you want the second DVD with a super copy of the famous "Voice Of 
Victory" Hallicrafters produced film, add five dollars. NO additional 
postage is needed! The data source used for editing was actual film, not 
some cheap repro on a CD from the Bay Of E! This DVD also contains six 
additional video Hallicrafters shorts!

If you want the special CD dedicated to Fritz Franke, the man who spoke out 
and released the classified documents to the world, add $5! But wait! Not 
only do you get  the Franke CD -  Fritz was a former Chief Engineer in 1940 
and became Halligan's best worldwide PR wizard! But a second CD is included 
that is the actual live original audio of a quite young Chuck Dachis, 
WD5EOG, as he presented his 20 slide show of the most rare and unique 
Hallicrafters pieces of gear! So for that five dollars you get two 
additional CDS to go with the previous five! Or $40 plus $9 shipping.

Or get all eight, the second DVD is $5, for a total of $45 plus $9 shipping. 
You can not beat this with a mixer on uppers or a broom with a Hydrogen 
Peroxide sweep start boost assist thruster!

This is all about the history of radio ye lovers of Heathkit so go for it! 
Did you know Bill Halligan financially bailed out some guy named Art 
Collins? Dumped a pile of money into a failing publication known as QST? 
Gave away the plans to Hallicrafters latest technology before the corporate 
pirates could hoist their sails in the hopes of making some sales?
