[Milsurplus] Aberdeen Rally Report part 2 of 3

[Meir-WF2U]

Great report, Breck, too bad it's farther for me than Dayton...

Congrats on the nice finds!
BTW the RUP-1 is Yugoslavian.

I'm sort of familiar with the Yugoslavian surplus radios from research, I've
been looking for an RUP-4 for years. The RUP-4 is the Yugoslavian made
modernized GRC-9 - the receiver is all solid state and the transmitter has
more common type tubes, but looks somewhat different from the original. Very
cool looking rig! All the accessories are compatible with the GRC-9
accessories.

Friday I ran the GRC-9 inside the Vehicle but on Saturday set  up on the
hood. Saturday I used the 32 foot AT-1011 antenna and used a "captured"
Chinese 139 set as a liaison receiver. I posted a small sign on the 139 set
declaring it a "hands on" display, it was interesting to watch folks that
would come up to the vehicle and play with the radio and listen to some
"short wave" signals.  I also had the PRC-47 available for SSB and CW as
well as the usual FM gear on the 51.0 push.

I picked up a nice BC-348M, unaltered for 60 bucks, a WWII Officer Chest in
excellent condition complete with drawers and even the key for $50. Found
cables for my C2299/VRC system to run the 524 from the front of the vehicle,
found lots of aircraft stuff for my "flak bait" display etc.  The most
unusual items I was were Dave's BC-1000 test sets and some kind of special
cable which I assume was to be used to power the BC-1000 on the bench.
Speaking of BC-1000's Tom Bryan brought his Czech RUP-1(I hope I got the
right country), the set looks just like a BC-1000 and it covers six meters
without any modifications, just turn the dial to 51.0.
