[AMRadio] WW II Army Field Sets

[Kim Elmore]

I'm hoping some of the old timers among you can help me with some 
information.  I'm curious about what sorts of "portable" HF field sets were 
available in the Army infantry during WW II.  I know of some AAF sets, and 
some sets used in tanks, but there seems to be little information on sets 
much smaller than the SCR-299 variety, which used a BC-610/Hallicrafters 
HT-4 as the transmitter.  The SCR-299 was an entire system carried in a 
special communications truck.

I'm looking for info about something smaller that might be carried as 
something to be set up within a command post.  Perhaps along the lines of a 
Johnson Viking or Globe Champion as a transmitter and a S-40 or HQ-110 or 
HQ-170 as a receiver. Do any of you have info on such a beast, or know of 
someplace I can go to get it? I've looked quite a bit on the web and 
haven't yet found what I'm after.

Thanks,
