[ARC5] RE: SCR-522 - New

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

I never tried to use a 522 receiver.  I modified one of
the transmitters for my wife to use with her Novice ticket
(WN6DFR) back in 1963 in Sacramento, CA.  It currently
resides in a rack cabinet in my garage.

Winner appears to be a WW2 Air Corps memorabilia collector, not a radio guy.

I run one of these (see my pix on QRZ), most recently at the 2006 MRCG FD.
Had to replace every cap in the receiver to get it going.   Touchy thing to
tune up too.   Hard to imagine the adjustments holding up under vibration, 
hard
landings, etc., but apparently they did.
