[Milsurplus] MAB

[Hue Miller]

Tim, really interesting photo. Does look, i admit, hard to call it anything else but a probable MAB with first style antenna, which was new to me. I wonder how the coil in it was adjusted?Of course, we do not know the provenance of the photo. Doesn't have the look of a trainingexercise, tho, but who can tell?It kind of amuses me, the enthusiasm shown in France for the U.S. Marines. But then, theyhave a pretty good contingent of Wehrmacht reenactors too. Kind of puts the lie to the imagehere of cheese-loving pacifists. I may have the book, published in France, where that photo appears. I'll have to have a searchmission, tho, to find it. 
Some here have seemed to have said the Marines got the junk no one else wanted. Looks to memore like the Marines got everything everyone else used, old and newest, and maybe more.Guy at a hamfest showed me a LINK ( the company ) walkie-talkie class radio, in M.C. markedbag, that i'd never seen before anywhere.-Hue ( "Without clay tablets, we wouldn't still have Gilgamesh" )
