[ARC5] [Milsurplus] What on Earth? (Navy Transmitter)

[Dennis DuVall]

Looks like a pair of 807s in parallel in a Heising modulator scheme,  
same as in the MO-1 and MAK transceivers.  Other similarities too  
liked the tapped antenna coil and what could be the modulation  
reactor.  Looks like there's a 6L6 tucked in there too (xtal osc?).
