[ARC5] WWII Navy Control Tower Radio

[Michael A. Bittner]

Not that it makes any difference, but some of those floatplanes are Curtiss Seahawks.  Mike, W6MAB

  The planes look to be Kingfisher scouts and they had the GF/RU sets. The tower radio would most likely be HF.

  The SX-28 and the VHF model  SX-32 both used that style cabinet, but 
  they are so similar I can't tell which it is.   Since most comms were on 
  HF at that time I'd guess it's the SX-28.
