General Notes

Note

It was an odd name for an amateur radio equipment company, but M&H Sporting Goods of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania sold commercial ham gear from other manufacturers as well as kits for equipment bearing their own brand name. M&H was active in the mid-1930s. The HRT-150 transmitter consisted of two tabletop racks housing the RF deck/antenna coupler/power supply and modulator/power supply, respectively.
