Could that have been Paul/WA5SXZ?  Last I saw Paul, was in Hot Springs.

All this talk about 2m AM has me remembering that I have a Navy, VHF
transmitter.

Don't remember the nomenclature on it, but it was like a mini T-368, with three
drawers;

Top) Final (with (3) 3E29's in it)
Middle) modulator, with p-p 807's
Bottom) power supply.

It's available, if anyone is curious enough to have it.  I'd say a good 100w
output.

I'll be out of pocket for the next week.  Plan a trip to South Texas to get it.
