[Milsurplus] Antenna A-82-A Artificial

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Larry,

You have what may be a perfectly good A-82-(*)  (there were four different 
models with minor difference in physical components and meter design).  It is 
part of IE-17-E, the BC-611 test set, and IE-17-B, the BC-721 test set.  It has 
no case, and was mounted on top of the FT-252-(*) Test Stand.  There should be 
a dangling lead coming from the tuning capacitor.  But it should be insulated 
stranded wire ending in an alligator clip.  For the final test of the 
transmitter and modulation, it is clipped to the partially extended antenna.  If you 
meant "dangling from the meter" literally (and not "dangling from the unit") 
then something is missing.  

If you haven't already gotten requests for it, let me know and I'll send you 
a list of people who were looking for one.
