[ARC5] [Milsurplus] Command Receivers on the Broadcast Band

[robert meadows]

 Not really rare, just the latest iteration of the receivers, from my memory of reading the US Navy manuals on the radios.  In fact, I have a control for the Broadcast receiver that is the standard ARINC width.From memory, the USN didn't standardize the ARC/ARA radios until early 1960s.R

  I never saw one of those (ARC?) broadcast receivers with the loop option.That's a rare beast.The Arc beacon receivers all had the loop option. I've seen lots of those.

   Gang,
 
 Recent discussion of CBY-46145 and BC-946B bring to mind my experience with R-24/ARC-5 as a BCB DX receiver.
 
 
 Here's my log from our radio club's DX contest back in 2012:
 
 
 Sadly, YVKS  has been QRT for a while now.
 
 95% of the time you'll bemuch  better off with a tuned loop rather than a wire antenna.
