[Milsurplus] TMC GPR-90 - info request

[WF2U]

This is a great story!

Well, the TMC GPR-90 is definitely way different from the Hammarlund SP-600
(different generation as well) and no SP-600 information would be relevant
at all...

There is a TMC mailing list at http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/tmc
where one can join the list and there is a TMC collectors' website at
http://www.geocities.com/tmcvintage/ .
