Good morning,

This discussion has my interest.  In 1958 -59 I was a member of an Air Explorer unit of the Boy Scouts of America. We met at Bakalar AFB, Columbus, Indiana, the home of the Air Force 434th reserve transport squadron.  They flew C-119's and we got to fly on one.  I was a new ham at the time and recall seeing a BC-348 installed in the radio position on the plane.  I remember tuning it and not hearing anything.  I don't know if the antenna was connected. 

As a member of that expl;orer post I also flew to Great Lakes Naval training center on a 119 for a field trip.  Now I am wondering if it was a Navy 119 at Great Lakes where I saw the BC 348 or if it was on the Air Force 119.  Since the unit in Indiana was a reserve unit, maybe they had hand-me-down 119's from the Navy.  Obviously, I am confused, but curious.

I have written an email to the museum at the airport and asked them. They are restoring a 119 and their web page has featured photos of our Air Explorer Post.  I hope they can answer my question.

73,

Dave, K4TO
