[Milsurplus] DF Set

It's a homebrew DF set   The loop is from an ARN-7 "football" antenna, 
and the compass scale is made from the large indicator from the ARN-7 
setup, and the cabinet looks totally homebrew.   Someone probably built 
it for a lot less than they could buy a commercially made RDF for and 
used it on a boat.   I hate seeing ARN-7 stuff being cut up, but the 
ingenuity and creativity are praiseworthy.
