[MilCom] Iraqi Tactical Radios

Sat Apr 12 20:15:01 2003

Hi all,

Most of those antennas are 30-88MHz frequency hop (wide band in antenna
terms).  For info on the spidery-looking antenna, search OE-254 and OE 254
(no hyphen).  I have one of these on my roof and it works great.  Also two
others as part of travel kit.

The other antennas are fairly general purpose.  There were a few
vehicle-mounted satcom pods.  I saw one classic Watkins Johnson-style
direction finder antenna and a boatload of UHF satcom stuff...mostly the
little foldup ones same/similar as Dorne & Morgolin stuff.

regards

John Collins
