[Milsurplus] RU TU lying in sunken TBD

[Gregory W, Moore]

GE Hue,

I have been trying the darndest to enhance that photo.... I tried to 
reach Ric, but he isn't in the office , to see if he could provide me 
with a .bmp or similar high resolution photo....The forum, though, has 
been pretty much on the Tuscon fire and the burned artifact... since I 
have been working on a transcription of all the logs from the Earhart 
flight, rewriting them in "civilian" wording, so all the members can 
understand,. instead of the various RM type abbreviations (a request 
from Ric), and doing same on a commo mill, so the logs will look the 
same, but read plain English (note, they will be prominently marked as 
edited reproductions, just so nobody gets the wrong idea), anything 
radio, is of course, of high interest to me....

I will let you know if I can get some hi=rez pix from ric, and send them 
to the list, or post them on my website, as .bmps are pretty large, and 
the download time if someone doesn't have a high speed conx is pretty long..
