[Boatanchors] ARC-4

[Phil Atchley]

Hello Ian et al,

Ah yes, the T1A.  Now there was a REAL boatanchor! !  I did two stints 
behind it's controls in St George Utah in the '60s, in between trips to 
remote Microwave sites in Europe etc.  For some reason the USAF felt that us 
304x0 types needed a second AFSC so thta they could let us come back to the 
states BRIEFLY
