[ARC5] AN/ARC-3

[Bob Macklin]

When I was in Korea (53/54) each Wing had 3 squadrons. Each squadron had an 
operations shack. A Quonset hut. Each Operations Shack had an ARC-3 and Wing 
Operations also had an ARC-3. They ran on 28V aircraft batteries.

The radio shack also had an ARC-3 on the squadron channel.
