Bob, W9RAN:

Great website!  I've just enjoyed Ed Marriner's articles about radio history as posted. He also did excellent historical articles for Ham Radio in the 1960s.  We may use some of his work on the (CHRS) Society of Wireless Pioneers website (www.SoWP.org).

Also a very nice picture of that Russian cached radio. I think the Green Berets did the same sort of things in Eastern Europe in the early 1960s for the same reasons.

As a follow-on to Dave's recent posts about the Bendix, here's one you
don't see often - a Sea Rad MM-50 made by Multi Products Company of Oak
Park MI, aka "Multi Elmac":

The eBay seller I got this from said he was told it came off of a Great
Lakes ore ship, but there's no proof of that and I haven't been able to
trace it's original callsign.   But I fantasize that it's true and every
year as 'the gales of November come early' the anniversary of the
sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald prompts me to put it on the air.

I've used it on several local AM nets recently and there is a link at
the bottom of the page above where you can listen to my check-in to the
DX-60 Net today on 3880 kHz.    The audio is punchy and the band was
starting to fade, but not a bad signal for 37 watts at a distance of 328
miles a bit after 9AM at the recording location.
