No, I'm not a spy !!!!
I just have an odd sort of hobby: besides the usual BC, GRC, VRC, PRC radio
stuff, I do collect sonobuoys.
It happens that these things are a bit hard to find. In the sixties many of
them have been dismantled and the Tx re-used for working 2m FM. Nowadays
there is no interest in them.
I often use to drop a mail to the usual sources like Fair Radio and other
sellers ... no chance. And even on ebay sonobuoys are offered very seldom.
So, if you happen to have a 3 ft x 5 in metal tube marked AN/SSQ-23 or the
like, please tell me! The same for manuals (they are even harder to find).
