[Milsurplus] Surplus conversion manuals/ BC-455-B Modification

[C.Whitaker]

de WB2CPN
We didn't have VHF ham bands in the 50's, so all the mobile
units that hams had were either on 10 or 80 Mtrs.
So I could take a modified 455 and a Gonset converter and
a 108 inch whip and be on the air.  Power was often a vibrator.
I used a Stancor 203-A transmitter with a Carter dynamotor,
all in the trunk of the Kaiser, and the Gonset strapped to the
stearing wheel.
Hey, that surplus stuff was about the only way to go.
