Dave ya know if that foto's fm '44 Radio News "Electronics goes to War,"
I held it suspect.
Sort of regarded it as file footage. Like a 1918-ish foto of a doughboy
with a Winchester '73 "somewhere in France."
But same issue has a foto of the backpack BC-1000 called, yes,
a walkie talkie. So pix in that special edn. weren't limited to jurrasic
rigs.
And I've also read the 52-65 mc BC-322 cousins were used for 'moutain
topping' in those parts - no reference tho. So their use does have a good
probability
