Then there is the case of the same receiver getting two designations...
RBM (HF),   and RBS.      (beach radio vs. shipboard)
And, of course, the RBM could be either of two receivers..  (LF or HF)

The collective research ability of Bill and other list members will 
continually be bringing
up these anomalies....  will forensic science some day get to the point of
being able to delve into minds long passed to uncover the reasons for these 
things?
