[MRCA] [Boatanchors] Need Navy "DU" Loop Antenna Docs

[Michael Hanz]

Hi Al,

About halfway down (page 122 through 125), there is a discussion about 
the RDF-1-A, which seems to essentially be the early DU.  The vacuum 
tube is a Navy 38233 (RK-33), which became a type 1642.  I have an extra 
if you need one.  I acquired an L-1130-A DF unit from the RDF-1-A system 
that appears identical to the DU, but had to make a new tube cover for 
it on the lathe because it was MIA.  Photo attached.
