[Milsurplus] MN-20E Loop questions

[Michael St. Angelo]

Hu,

I have G&G Catalog #79. Some of the pictures and the type used in the 
descriptions
are the same as the Fair Radio catalog but some type is unique to his 
catalog.
 I don't know about any associations; I guess you would have to check with 
Fair Radio about that.

Some of the ad's were elaborate. The G&G ad for the SCR-625 Army Mine 
Detector has lines such as
- A Boon To All Prospectors - Oil Companies - Plumbers - Miners - Etc.
- Can be adapted for underwater exploration!

One other interesting fact. The ham who worked for the owner had installed 
the two 25KW Collins AM transmitters
on Abie Nathan's Voice of Peace radio ship. It was docked at New Jersey at 
the time. Nathan sailed the ship
into the Mediterranean and broadcast to Israel for many years. You can see 
the ship and the transmitters at:

73,

Mike
