[ARC5] HF mlitary radios

[Tim]

Hi Ken - If it was the "TRC-77" then you had a fine rig! Beautiful
construction indeed..... I am up here at a vacation cabin in Oregon and
mine is right here, dipole in the trees.  It is a great little portable CW
set.
I have done some digging on its history and deployment plus some adventures
with mine here if you're bored:

I also had it out for Field Day a couple of weeks ago.  Good fun:

Very interested to hear about Mike's TRC-88 "version".  Surprised to hear
that any were found in the wild!  I wonder how many were made.  Or how they
fitted the SSB topology into the set.

ARC5 content:  I used to bring my ARC5 set out camping but that also
required a generator etc...more logistics required for that one!  HIHI
73, Tim
