Where was this paper published? I would very much like to read it.
Re your last sentence: AMEN !

James Barrows, W7BCT, SK, whose career was with the FCC, told me that during the Hungarian Rebellion, 1956, 
he saw at work a photo of a BC-610 being pushed out some building window. The BC-610 was being used as a 
broadcast jammer. That is lower power than you would expect, but maybe would suffice for one city. I have in all
my years never found that photo.

>I finally found the paper that I was thinking about - "Homing Beacons, Instrument Landing System Markers, "Z" Markers, Fan Markers and Bone Markers" by Cletus W Whitaker WB2CPN who unfortunately passed away in 2019.

I was wrong on the equipment and application. The paper shows a pair of BC-610's  used as a homing beacon in Okinawa in 1968.

This exercise made me realize I have to go through by documentation and catalogue what I have before more brain cells go away.
