[ARC5] ARC5 Digest, Vol 195, Issue 67

I certainly was aware of the HF capability as the EWO was responsible for setting it up and monitoring it continuously.  Pilots, navs, and gunner did not normally monitor HF.

I was only referring to short range comms.

Buffs did not have VHF, just HF and UHF.

I don't know what bombers they might have been.  All our B-52s had "modern" UHF radios.  I was EWO on F models in 1965.

Maybe? on prop single engine aircraft.
