[Milsurplus] inquiry about commercially converted surplus marine radio gear

[Bob Wilder]

I have been  told that many of the shrimpers out of Bayou la Batre, Alabama used
modified BC-375's and BC-348's in the early 1950's and late 1940's .  Mostly for
the 2-3MC marine ship-to-shore frequencies.  Later on many shifted to Collins
ham gear complete with linears.
