[ARC5] IN-83 Question

[Mike Hanz]

  Couldn't find anything definitive with google, so I put a page on the 
three most common USAAF antenna feedline insulators (IN-81, IN-82, and 
IN-83) on my web page:

http://aafradio.org/docs/aircraft_antenna_insulators.html

When I get some time I'll add some of the external antenna insulators 
and tension units, both Army and Navy.

73,
Mike  KC4TOS
