[MRCA] Fwd: Project WASHTUB comms

[Tim]

Probably many of us have heard about the recently declassified Project
WASHTUB which hit the news today.  It was an effort to recruit, equip and
train Alaska residents in the early 1950's to act as "stay behind agents"
in the event the Soviet Union attacked and occupied Alaska during the early
days of the cold war.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to specify the type of
radio equipment that might be available in the early 1950's to be used in
this effort.  You would design the training program for operators and
assist in specifying communications components for the supply caches
containing this radio equipment.  What radio equipment would be best suited
for this task?

You have as much time as Ivan will allow...
