Remember Arne Johnson saying that in uniform?

Seems 90+% of the traffic here now concerns our consuming interest in
3rd reich radio control

And while we're wrapped around that rc axle, I have to ask about survival
possibility of USA rc receivers u/w:

   ARW-9  -  the 5-tone AM BC-1158 tx for the AZON & RAZON bombs (today's
             MkIV/JDAMS)

   ARW-8  -  the 5-tone AM BC-463 tx for gunnery practice drones*

   ARW-18 - the 10-tone AM(?) tx for project aphrodite PB4Y cruise missiles

Receivers with provenance of employment in service given highest
attention

*have lite-gauge rusty sheet metal box w. several 1.4V miniatures &,
 aparrently, five LC filters.  Seems like 70mhz trf.  Only has antenna
 & big jones connectors.  Think it's from a drone.  Gasp, no nomenclature
 plate.  But maybe there never was one.

 Skeleton of drone found just last year in coastal Ga.  Came down in
 top of a toppled tree.

 Isn't that why we thank god for developers?
