[Milsurplus] T-50 M cousin T350XM

Tue, 09 Dec 2003 00:16:20 +0000

W5PYT (SK) down in west Texas used to run a TechRad transmitter on AM.  I 
wonder if this is what it was.  I don't remember him providing a detailed 
description of it.  COurse it might have been included in one of his 30 
minute transmissions where i fell asleep!!!!

God bless ol' Bob.
