[Boatanchors] CFT46154-A VLF RX info wanted

[n1udi@att.net]

Hello John

Please be advised the subject unit that you seek info on is in fact an RBA 
and all 95 Lbs of it. I also have one of those great VLF recivers along with 
two RBC's sitting next to it. My RBA came by way of a gent that was a Navy 
spraks in WW2. He advised me back in the day he would copy CW just over 50+ 
WPM but due to his age and health he slowed down to adout 30 WPM.

I have a T.M. for the unit I'll have to look for it if you have not located 
one yet. By the time my RBA arrived at my door there was another box with it 
in side was BC-344-D! So the sale must have been two for the price of one "HI 
HI".
