[ARC5] ARC5 and ART13

[Bill Fuqua]

  Yes, a bit hard to understand today and perhaps even then.
This was probably built back in the 50's when all sorts of
surplus was available. It is possible he got salvaged
ART-13s and used the parts from them. Who knows.
It could be that he just wanted to build something himself,
as many of us would, and the cheapest parts available were
from surplus radios.  I just don't know the story. I was given to
me by a friend who got it from someone else.
   It is just as odd as another transmitter that I have which is
a single band 40 meter CW transmitter with a 813 final and
a stripped down Johnson Navigator as the exciter. No one noticed
at the hamfest that it had a Navigator in it and I got it cheap.
Now, I need a case and front panel for a navigator.
