[Boatanchors] TECHNICAL MATERIAL CORP BOAT ANCHORS-TMC

[Keith Densmore]

TMC had a manufacturing and/or assembly plant in Ottawa, Canada and provided
equipment to Dep't of National Defense on a regular basis. Lots of it has
been surplused over the years.  I own a GPT-750 but there were  lots of
PAL-500's and 1K's up here at one time. The air force used FRR-49's as well.
Good stuff, plenty heavy.

Keith, ve3ts

and I never saw any TMC equipment ibe used by our service (61-83).  I began
screening military R&M, DRMO'S from 1969 thru the present in the areas were
I live and have never seen any of this equipment show up.  I'm sure the the
NAVY was the prime user since this equipment offered more ballast than B&W,
HALLICRAFTERS, and HAMMARLUND.  I have a few questions.
