Good signal in New Hampshire, S8

2145z Talking about how the Signal Corps selected the Hallicrafters HT-4 transmitter for WWII use, re-engineered as the BC-610 (part of the SCR-299 mobile communications unit).

Here's the video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TURd_XVpwvk

Seems like this is part of the "Shortwave Radio for World War II" series (lots of other segments on YouTube)

Wish I would have caught more of it.  I was Signal Corps in the 1970s.
