[MRCA] AN/PRC-64

[Richard Arland, K7SZ]

I recently parted with my PRC-64. I wasn't using it and it was gathering 
dust in the basement, so, with everything else going on with our upcoming 
move to Georgia, I decided to sell it.

A former Australian SAS troop bought it for the Royal Signals/SAS museum in 
Australia! I sent the radio to him and it arrived in about 12 days.

THEN...I got an e-mail from him that really set me back!!

He said that the color & markings on the radio set were from one of the 
Australian units he was assigned to for THREE tours!! Not only that, the bag 
had Royal Signals markings on it, also. These were traced to another unit he 
had served in. Now, he is researching old radio logs and equipment 
dispersment info to find out if he actually had operated THAT particular 
PRC-64 during his stint in the SAS.

Talk about a very, VERY small world!!

PS: The radio is part of an interactive display in the museum allowing 
visitors to actually talk to operators in the next room using the 1W AM 
position or CW. Really, really neat.
