[ARC5] [Milsurplus] TBW On the Air

[Christopher Bowne]

Very nice condition TBW.  Historical Note:
IIRC I believe the Book 90 South, about the establishment of the US South Pole Station in Antarctica in the mid 1950s mentions when a TBW arrived for installation at their radio communications station.  Although it’s not specifically mentioned as such, that prior to the TBW arrival,  they apparently were using just a little RT-77/GRC-9 for HF comms with incoming and departing aircraft and McMurdo Base.
