Hello Bob, Congrats on acquiring a BC-61 (Beastie 610)!! There is aWW II documentary DVD available which has a 28 min. story by Hallicrafters about the conversion of the HT-4 to military use showing ass'y line production & testing plus building the SC-299 mobile carrier for it. The DVD is called "Voice of Victory" and would be a nice bit of historical trivia to go along with your BC-610. Of course Hallicrafters is "blowing their own horn" about how great their transmitter was but has some great historical shots. It is available from several sources so if you do a web search it should come up. I bought my copy from a fellow on EBay. The BC-610 part is about 14 minutes long then there is a second documentary by RCA about how important radio communications is to the military and centers around two brothers, both amateurs, who join the army & navy and get into military communication school. DVD is B & W footage from WW II, Just thought I would send this along in case you haven't seen it.
All the best, Deric VY2DA. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Peters" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <AMRadio@mailman.qth.net> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2005 3:27 PM Subject: [AMRadio] BC-610 Xtal Holder > I have just purchased a 610 and going to use it xtal control.
