[ARC5] Another marine radio on the ham bands

[Bart Lee]

Bob, W9RAN:

Great website!  I've just enjoyed Ed Marriner's articles about radio
history as posted. He also did excellent historical articles for *Ham Radio*
in the 1960s.  We may use some of his work on the (CHRS) Society of
Wireless Pioneers website (www.SoWP.org).

Also a very nice picture of that Russian cached radio. I think the Green
Berets did the same sort of things in Eastern Europe in the early 1960s for
the same reasons.
