[ARC5] Talking to Airplanes From the Ground

[Hubert Miller]

I think I am partial to the SCR-694 and like. I recalled now that the TRC-2 transceiver was actually
the first 'surplus' radio I ever had, and that was around 60 years ago. It unfortunately was lost,
which makes this uncommon radio all the more uncommon. I still have some BC-1306s and 
another TRC-2. At one time I thought of trying to go for the whole TRC-2 setup, but now that's 
looking very impractical and unrealistic. 

Chuck Waite about 25 - 30 years ago told me about a "1306 net" he and some others had going
in PA area a few years before that. That sounded like real fun and only whetted my appreciation
of these little gems. I also recall seeing at a Goodwill store a book on Christian missionaries in, I
believe, the Amazonian Peru', and it had a photo of a missionary with a full BC-1306 setup with
handcrank gen. I kick myself now for not buying that book. The price was certainly nothing.
