[Johnson] Viking 2 -- CDC Civil Defense Model?

[Sherrill Watkins]

Richard: I suggest to reinstall the CD decal. Without it, it is not properly
labeled as a CD Model and lacks the "Cold War" mistique. - 73- Sherrill

I wonder about the paint -- what is the color of a CDC Viking 2 supposed to 
be? I always presumed mine was a CDC, but it has the standard Johnson 
burgundy color, covers 1.7 to 30, has PTT, and had a Civil Defense decal on 
it. The decal was not in very good shape, so I carefully removed it. Else,it 
was really clean.

(It's a nice rig, but it sure couldn't modulate to 100 percent with all RF 
carrier the finals were capable of. I beefed up the 807 screen and bias 
supplies and that helped a lot.)
