Al Spots a Hallicrafters Receiver in a Jeanne Mas Video

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Al, who writes: 

Hello Thomas!

I’d like to pass along a radio spotting report; a Hallicrafters S-40B, or is it a S-77, in a Jeanne Mas video of her song “Johnny Johnny.”

It appears several times in the video, this may be the clearest, about :40 in.:

I have a S-40B tucked away in a closet so of course it caught my eye!

I stumbled upon it doing while doing research for this week’s “Birthday Radiogram” segment that airs during The Mighty KBC’s “The Giant Jukebox” music show with host Eric van Willegen. I’ve been producing the segment for a couple of years now. Kim Elliott of “Shortwave Radiogram” invited me to give it a try while he was away on family business.

I’d never heard of Jeanne Mas, a French pop singer from the ‘80s, but her birthday is this weekend. Her videos do have quite a few hits. For the moment, I’m going with Cindy Wilson of the B-52s for the segment this week. But we’ll see how things develop.

I thought your readers might enjoy this sighting…and the video <smile>
