Robert, WA5CAB reports:

>>Yes, Virginia, there really was a BC-794, with band five covereing
20-40 MC. 

Which raises the burning question:  WHY??????  Book says for intercept,
so was the German 30 MHz tank stuff AM, and the target?  For really,
really strong signals, since the sensitivity of those old designs
suffered pretty badly above 20 MHz, nevermind poor frequency stability,
which goes back into the circular argument of why most of our AM/CW comms
gear didn't go above 20 MHz at first anyway. 

Oh, well, a lot of things aren't obvoius from this distance anymore.
