[ARC5] [Milsurplus] Article in Nov. QST

[Fuqua, Bill L]

I have asked this question before but never got a good answer from anyone.
  Has anyone in the past 10 or so years taken a BC221 straight out of the box and
compared its actual frequencies to its capibration charts?
   It would be interesting to know well the old things held up.
And what about ARC5 transmitters and receivers? I know that many don't want to 
open boxes with "new" old radios in them, but someone must have.

I would take extreme exception to this since I'm building a website in place
of the book but, sadly, you're right.  With few exceptions - our own Mike
Hanz's AAFRadio site being a shining example - it has become a basic dump.
This, to me, is sad since it had such promise when first proposed back in
the 90s.

On the other hand, I've lived in slums (and Waikiki which may possibly be
worse) and a mansion sounds inviting.  :-D
