[Milsurplus] Radar lore; GO-9, GP-7-TU FS

[Phil Barnes-Roberts WA6DZS]

You all just reminded me of Arthur C. Clarke's only non-SF novel
<i>Glide Path</i> from 1963, semi-autobiographically drawing on his
wartime RAF service in GCA radar (or at the time, according to
Wikipedia, 'Ground-controlled Descent'.  There may be some hints in
there, but aside from that, I'd leave it to contemporaneous sources.  My
(Fire-Control) radar experience didn't start until 1965.

Mama's insisting on clearing the house of (most of) the junk, so I'm
ready to find a home for my Westinghouse GO-9 transmitter (power and HF
units only, no IF), S/N 388 (been on the covered porch, mostly complete
that I can see minus the receiver binding post), and the GP-7 Tuning
Unit CAY-47155 (S/N 6017 June 27, 1940; Range C- 1500-3000 kc, also
complete as far as I can see).  Both dusty, and I'm realizing I'm never
going to put any of this on the air.  Get them before they get donated
for scrap!
