[GreenKeys] Military Radio Collectors

[wf2u at ws19ops.com]

Then there are a number of military radio lists, mainly devoted to  
certain models of radios: there are BC-223, GRC-9, ART-13, BC-348/224,  
Wireless Set 19 (2 separate lists), T-368/BC-610, R-390/R-390A and the  
British VMARS (Vintage Military Amateur Society), Clansman/Larkspur  
(also British military sets) and Russian/Warsaw Pact Military radio  
lists on Yahoo. These are the ones I subscribe to as I have interest  
in them. There may be additional ones I'm unaware of at this time...
Oh, yes, another one I'm aware of: There is a list for the Netherlands  
Military collectors Society but it's in Dutch.
