[Milsurplus] RAK Question

The current RAK/RAL thread prompts me to ask if anyone has documentation on
the RAK loop antenna? I have the loop antenna coupling unit (CNM-47367),
part of the CNM-66096 loop antenna assembly which also includes the
CNM-66097 loop. I have 3 different RAK manuals but none mention this antenna
system. Interestingly, according to labeling on the coupler, the loop
antenna was only used in the 15 -77.5 KHz. range.
Although RCA also built RAK's in Montreal during WW2 for the Royal Canadian
Navy, a less sophisticated version known by the RCA model # TE-236B was more
commonly found on RCN ships. It did not have the meters and extensive
filtering found on the RAK.
Happy tinkering
