[Milsurplus] 500 Kc XMTR

[Hubert Miller]

Remember that (probably) RMCA secondary 500 kHz transmitter that used something like 4 triodes in parallel
in self excited oscillator? This was also in one Fair catalog one year. I sure wondered where on earth they had 
found some of those. I had two close brushes with acquiring one of those things. Once when I was rooting through
a shed attic in Seattle, which attice was piled about the knee high in every kind of stuff, some very good stuff,
but all interesting, up to your knees. I put off dragging out that transmitter, and then with health problems of the 
host owner, the invitations kind of faded away. Then there was one on Ebay and I communicated with the owner,
but didn't move on it. I do have the matching receiver, it's something like AR-8501, which was also described in
an AWA OTB article, so I probably should have acquired this transmitter. I never imagined that the LF band 
would be opened. The world moves on, and I'm continually surprised.
