[ARC5] Ft. Worth Aviation Museum Asking for Our Help

[David Stinson]

The Ft. Worth Aviation Museum has been in touch, asking for
help with a project- a WWII Pacific Theatre  jeep used to
communicate to aircraft and ground controllers.  We've
seen a few photos over the years of these with many different
HF (and VHF in some) radios "shoe-horned" in.

They need suggestions and possible sources for a credible set,
but that set must not take-up all the room in the back of
the jeep.  This is also a PR project (don't sneer; without PR
such as the jeep being in a parade with a pretty  girl waving
from the back, there's no money coming in to pay the bills.
With no money, all this history ends-up in the dump).

Now, I'm not a "jeep radio" guy, but many of you are.
They need an antenna base.  I think the proper antenna
for HF is that one which is made of rods that screw
together, with the coloured ends you match.  I *think*
I have a complete set of those I'll donate, but I don't
have the proper base insulator for it.
Can someone kick-in an antenna base, or suggest
a correct alternative?
