[ARC5] ART-13 Use in WWII B-29

[Dennis Monticelli]

Yes.  A lot of signals.  I have logged nearly 100 with a BC-453B here on
the west coast.  Propagation on those wavelengths is very different (e.g.
very long fades) and sometimes surprisingly good if the lightning static
and switching supplies don't do you in.  Some beacons are only 25 to 50W of
A2 mod feeding 50' of "T" antenna yet can sometimes be copied 2000 miles
away with simple equipment.
