[ARC5] (OT) Another marine radio on the ham bands - Army Air Force

[n3lll --]

You are correct, it probably did not require a microprocessor.  I had this
Micropython board that needed a home.  It has a real time clock built in so
the whole thing was done with about 10 lines of code, which mostly
consisted of setting the time.  I used the relay to pull the solenoid.
Neet clock, it cleaned up very well, best I can tell from the serial
number, it was made in the 1920's.  It loses a minute every 3 or 4 months.
