[Milsurplus] Cool Radios at Texas State Fair

[Gregory W. Moore]

GE Hue,

Do you think that tthe "Lindberg Direction Finder." ( Which would, if 
real. have been a Bendix
Earth Inductor Compass. not a DF at al), could possibly be the "great 
unknown" concerning AE's DF equipment aboard the Electra...... methinks 
you should post this on the AE TIGHAR forum--- hi-- .//GW//

I apologize for the lame humor, but it just couldn't be resisted after 
the recent posts on that other forum, and the matter, of course, is 
still in the "speculative: stage" amd a "honest to goodness bona fide 
artifact" would significantly help our research --hi--

73's de Greg "GW" Moore
Numbers, etc you already know.........
