[Milsurplus] Radio Station RS-6, Employment Of Versus ConspiracyTheory Of

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

I don't remember RS-6 from my days as an
EW on B-52F at 7BW/9BS, Carswell AFB, TX.

The only survival radio I remember was just
a beacon that was on 121.5 with second
harmonic output on 243.0.  Only time I
ever heard them was after the mid-air near
Philippines on 18 Jun 65 (1st B-52 mission to
Viet Nam).  Our cell (2nd wave) was on the
same track as the 320 BW (Mather) cell that
had the mid-air.  Our pilots saw the explosion.

My God Mother's son-in-law, Col Jack Wager, USAF (ret) was a Nav onboard 
47s. Let me "ping" him and see what he has to say.

Breck: I'll play the dummy (what perfect casting)...what is "Bossier City"?

PS: just traded my 2nd GRC-109 for a complete RS-6 in working order. Did I 
do good??
