  ARC-27 having no useable frequency in the Ham bands

The AN/ARC-27 and its similar companion the AN/ARC-55 will go down
into the 222 ham band with no modifications, but not very far.
In fact one of the alignment frequencies listed in the manual
is in the 224 range, something like 224.8 if I remember right. The 
control head will dial down to 220.0 and the radio will follow, but the
alignment won't track that far.

Might be fun to set up another "cold war net" on 224.9 at Gilbert next
year.
