[ARC5] Whatzit?

[Tom Clarke]

I received my multi-engine training in those "stoofs" in 1967 and remember 
the ARC-2s well.  We had to get a radio check with Duty Office before we 
taxied.  Once we got more than a few miles away from NAS Corpus, there was 
no chance of copying anything!

Since I was quite busy keeping up with the program, I didn't get a chance to 
"play" with the HFs.

Fun times!
