[Milsurplus] "Rare" Gear

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

For whatever reason, GO models earlier than GO-9 are like GP models earlier 
than GP-7.  Almost none seem to have survived.  Most hams don't know that 
they even existed.  At least I do have a manual that covers the GP-6a and the 
GP-6.  And I think Jack A. has or had an earlier GP (GP-4 ???).
