The manual for the RT-68 lists the AB-15-GR as the antenna base issued with the radio.

The 292 antenna was the standard CP antenna we used with just about any issued FM radio we used in the FA back in the 1980s. It worked with just about everything.

The Carrington Event was the strongest geomagnetic storm known to
have hit the Earth since at least the 14th century.  Based on examinations
of ice samples, scientists believe that geomagnetic storms two and three
times stronger have occurred prior to the 14th century. Here's the first hand
report of the affects on telegraph operations, as reported on
September 5th, 1859  in the New York Times.

What will happen to our technology intense civilization the next time
this happens?
