[ARC5] History and Context of the ARC-5 sets

[Michael Bittner]

Roy, I'm guessing you were flying P2Vs, in which case you probably had the 
APN-9 Loran A receiver.  When I flew PBMs, we had the old APN-4 Loran A 
receiver.  I later purchased one of these from Marty's Surplus in San 
Francisco and converted it a 160 m receiver per the instructions in the 
Surplus Conversion Manual, Vol. 3.  I mistakenly referred to Loran A as 
Loran D in my previous email.  Mike, W6MAB
