[Milsurplus] Holiday Puzzle

[Roger Basford]

Hi Gene,

I agree but someone over here felt it was the AN/PRC-6, right era (?) but 
the shape of the '611 is pretty distinctive.

I've seen photos and TV footage of The Wall, which is very expressive. In 
the UK, we now a similar memorial for post-WWII losses which can be seen on 
http://www.thenma.org.uk/ Unfortunately, there will be 100+ extra names to 
be added this year.

73
