FW Chesson's web site & AWA Review art'l says BC-151 (p/o SCR161 /
4.8-5.5 mhz) is artillery version of BC-148 (p/o SCR 151 / 2-3.5 mcs)
infantyr radio.  Doesn't the artl'y always get the higher allocation?

There's a picture of one w. it's loop in TM 11-487 indicating it was
actually used in WW2.  Well someone once posted they were set up
& taken down over & over in training but never had the juice
shot to 'em (Bruce).

I've a ratso BC-148

Lucky you, smecc museneum can put the thing on new 5 mhz ham band & 
compete w. WWV.  Lucky indeed.
