I just printed out the article, and have gone through it slowly.

Dave, I see *no* signs of any "VHF replaced HF" statements, nor even
any such inference.  The only mention of VHF is of the R-28 and T-23
in a typical three-receiver, two-transmitter AN/ARC-5 system along
*with* a MF/HF receiver and transmitter (and R-4/ARR-2).

What am I missing?  The Wiki system allows editing by (one hopes
knowledgeable) people, so one of us could fix whatever is inaccurate.

Is it possible that this evil vampire does not, in fact, exist within
the ARC-5 Wiki-crypt?
