[Milsurplus] Aircraft HF DF capabilities

[WF2U]

I knew that... For some reason I typed RA-1. I had it on my mind, as someone
offered me an RA-1 recently, in a fairly "hammified" condition for $350...
yikes!!!  So I still don't have one.

The RA-1 also has DF ... BTW what transmitter went with it?
