[ARC5] ARN-6 in F-80 and F-86D

[Michael A. Bittner]

I always wondered what the glass dome thingy behind the rear seat in our T-28Bs and the radome on the nose of our TV-2s were for.  Apparently ARN-6 according to several contributors to this thread.  I don't recall ever using the ADF feature in either aircraft, doing most of my IFR cross-countrys, out of Navy Saufley Field, on red/green, blue/amber airways.  All communications in both birds were UHF, I'm guessing ARC-27.

  After pulling out my old Air Guard Dash-1's for the T-33A and the 
  F-100D/F, both, of course, have (had) the ARN-6 ADF.   On active duty, I 
  was in a '106 squadron we had three T-birds.  The Millville NJ NDB was 
  still an A/N range in the early 60's and was useful to transition to the 
  Dover area, not the A/N feature, of course.... Hi !!!  .  .  The 
  MA-1/ASQ-25 on that aircraft did not include an ADF.   OI don't know 
  what ADC's F-101B's had.  Before my time, of course, but the F-89s and 
  the F-94C's had them, I'm sure.
