Has anyone seen one?
---read on--->
one of our group got a BC1158 "glide bomb" 53-95 mcs (says Chesson)
transmitter yesterday. 4 815s! Looks to have scads 'o tone generators.
Was p/o RC185(?) system fm '44 & I'll bet it was the control TX for
the war-weary B17s used as radio-controlled flying bombs. Like the
'system' that ended Joe Kennedy, Jr.'s life over Channel.
Correct guess?
Marty... who 'converted' the TU75 RF deck to 6M in spring of 1955 not
then knolwing to what same TU75 belonged. Got same TU75 @
Lapairo Bros. in Cinti & bet it came out of a lot from
Wright-Pat 50 mi.s north.
