[Milsurplus] WTF? Nomenclature style

[WA5CAB@cs.com]

Bill & Group,

Minor point.  Correct syntax is "?WTF".  On voice circuits it was spoken as 
"Interrogative Whiskey Tango Foxtrot".  :-)  Usally with no pro-signs or call 
sign.

What a revolting development this is.  Aside from a couple of TM 11 numbers 
that may have been reused, the Signal Corps wasn't generally this sloppy.

Hey, Mike.  Did you know that there were three of us?

Now that would be a find!  A guy could probably retire on a hundred of those.

Which reminds me.  I've got a couple of PP-894/GRC-32B ground power supplies 
for the AN/ARC-27 (AN/GRC-32) if anyone is interested.  One is in the 
CY-1191/GRC-32A transit case.  Heavy suckers.
