[ARC5] Suspected A.R.C. antenna identification request

[zakariya.abu at yandex.com]

Hi Ray,

Thanks for the input. Yes, I know the manuals repository at 
http://tuberadio.com/robinson/Manuals/. The AN/ARC-60 manual's scan is 
not bad actually, but I presume that the original paper manual offered 
even better quality photos, especially of the control units.
