[Milsurplus] VHF Relay Photo

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Neat.  My first birthday.  I was also going to suggest AN/TRC-1, possibly 
with AN/TRA-1.  They went into service in England in time for the landings in 
June.  Given two antennas pointed in different directions, they could have been 
configured as TRC-3 or -4.
