[ARC5] HF/MF Mission Speculations (was ARC-39)

[Hubert Miller]

Dave, I suggest this is complete fantasy.
If you wish, I will cite specifics.

>I was once told by a WWII Navy radio op that aircraft would orbit isolated Japanese garrisons, broadcasting "give up" messages on BCB frequencies, but if it was done (and I'm not inclined to doubt this gentleman's word), it would seem a job for AN/ARC-8 or SCR-287, which could do the mission outside Anti-Aircraft range. A Hellcat with the puny QRP ARC-5 MF set, close enough to be heard, would be in great danger.
