[Milsurplus] Guadalcanal japanese transmitter

[Bruce MacMillan]

In the April 1943 issue of QST there are some photos of captured 
Japanese radio equipment that was put back into service by the Marines. 
It was somewhere in the Solomon Islands but no specific island was named.
One comment was "Jap equipment, largely copied from American designs, is 
efficient, substantially built and of surprising power and range".
