[ARC5] Fwd: Re: BC-453 in the SCR-274N Configuration

The Consolan station TUK , on Nantucket island, was always a power house on the east coast.

Here is an article in Radio Electronics about Consolan in the Match 1963 issue Radio Electronics Magazine. They modified a Setchell Carson 524 to use as a receiver. It starts on page 55

Took quit a while in this lumbering monster seaplane.  Somewhere I think I still have a wallet-sized cheat sheet card for the Fade-90 maneuver that is used to orient yourself on any 4-course range.
