[ARC5] cleaning radios

[Robert Caponi]

Hello All,

Being kind of new to collecting the Command Set Equipment. Is there a list of articles that appeared in magazines

such as CQ, QST, ETC. that were written before my time on such equipment? Looking to further my knowledge in the 

subject and would like to acquire some articles for reading.

73, Rob KB1PZM
