Hi Bart,
I did not get the pic of your ARC 5 Set Up. I would like to see it. I run the Old Military Radio Net at the Dayton Hamventioin on 3995 AM, at 12 noon, I have ran my ARC 5 set up as well as my SCR 274, TCS, ARC 8, POGO Stick, BC 611, BC 223, AVT 112. AVR 20, and AVR 126 power supply, just to name a few. I run every thing on batteries, charged with solar panels, booth 12 and 24 volt.

Were you at the Ft Wayne Hamfest? We had quite a contingent of Mil Radio collectors and users there. We have Midwest Military Radio Collectors net on Saturdays at 10AM Eastern Time on 7296USB. On the first Saturday of the month, we run on AM on 7295 AM. WE are also on 7296 USB each night, or down as far as 7280 if need arises. Easy to find as on Upper.
