[Milsurplus] Eisenhower Farm WW II Reenactment Event AAR

[Charlie L.]

Very nice writeup Mark.  I was not privy to the info on this event, and if
I did know would have attempted a sked with you even at 400 miles away in
WNC.  I did a similar display at Triple Tree airfield in SC a couple years
ago with SCR gear mounted properly in the B17 radio compartment t bulkhead
mount(display only) and using a BC375/348 running on dynamotor, but was
unable to work anyone due to the racket the amplidynes for the ball turret
was making.  You demo of netting the TX and RX reminded me of my first
attempt to use the BC375 and BC348 on an SKN,  all set up and warmed up,
then realizied I had no way to net the TX to the station I wanted to work
without using the freq meter to do so.  I corrected that the next year the
same way they solved the problem in the B17, adding a switch to unmute the
receiver, and mounted it right next to the key.  If you do this again, let
me know, PA is broadside to my antenna.

Charlie, W4MEC in NC.
