[Milsurplus] Radio On Higgins PT Boat

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Yes, Higgins did build PT Boats.  In fact one list member old enough to know 
told me they built the first ones.  But all I meant was that 99% of the time 
when anyone of that period says "Higgins Boat", they mean the Landing Craft.  
Eisenhower called it one of the three most important tools of the War.
