[Milsurplus] Older USAF airborne receivers?

[Donald Sanders]

Any of you that were in NAM may remember the PAVE EAGLE system. I helped
design and build that system at Harris. It was hush-hush, etc until the US
News printed a story complete with diagrams as to how the system worked.
Talk about aiding the enemy!
I sure wish I had one of the folding backpack towers the repeaters mounted
on.

Healthfully yours,
                          Don W4BWS
