[Milsurplus] The AN/ARC-65

[jhhaynes at earthlink.net]

I used one for a while back in the 1970s.  Took it out of the tub for
the sake of cooling, and built power supplies for the necessary voltages,
plus had a 400 Hz inverter to run the fans and the antenna coupler.
I used it in a MARS SSB application.  When it worked it worked pretty
well, but often it didn't work.

Tom Bryan in Silver Spring, MD has one and is trying to get it working,
or maybe he has it working by now.  I decided mine was never going to
work again and sent him a bunch of stuff for it.

Can somebody tell us what all airplanes used them?  B-52 and anything
else?  And for that matter which airplanes used the ARC-21?
