[ARC5] [Milsurplus] responsibility to our posterity

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

I used it on an old floor model RCA 10K radio to
get better selectivity AND for CW reception when
using that receiver as the I.F. for a Morrow 5BR
mobile converter as my station receiver!  Ir you
advance the regeneration enough, the IF to which
it is applied will self oscillate and provide
BFO action!
